The Godly Man's Picture

Answ. 1. In that Country above there are better delights; there is the Tree of Life, the Rivers of Pleasure; there is amazing beauty, unsearchable riches; there are the delights of Angels; there is the Flower of Joy fully blown; there is more than we can ask or ^†think; there is glory in its full dimensions, and beyond all hyperbole.

1. †Eph. 3. 20.

2. In that Country there is a better dwelling house: 1. It is an house not made with hands, 2 Cor. 5. 1. To denote the excellency of it: There was never any house but was made with hands; but the house above surpasseth the art of man or Angel, none besides God could lay a stone in that building. 2. It is eternal in the heavens; it is not a sojourning house, but a Mansion-house, it is an house will never be out of repair, Wisdom hath built this house, and hewn out her seven ^*Pillars, which can never moulder.
