Heaven taken

The heavenly Kingdom abounds with ¹Riches, Rev. 21. 21. The Twelve Gates were twelve Pearls. Earthly Kingdoms are fain to traffic abroad for Gold and Spices: In the Kingdom of God are all Rarities to be had, all commodities of its own growth; therefore figured by the Tree of life, bearing several sorts ⟨p. 148⟩of fruit, Rev. 22. 2. How rich is that place where the blessed Deity shines forth in its immense glory infinitely beyond the comprehension of Angels.

2. The delights of the heavenly Kingdom are unmixed. The comforts here below are checkered. Honour may be stained with disgrace; joy interlarded with sorrow. Our stars are mixed with clouds; but the delicacies of Heaven are pure as well as pleasant. There i honey that hath not one drop of gall, The Crystal spring of joy hath no settling of sorrow at bottom. The Rose in that Paradise is without prickles; the Sun in that horizon is without eclipse.
