And yet let us follow Elijah a step or two further with Elisha his servant: Paral. 14 1Elijah went up to heaven in a fiery Chariot: our Brother was carried up in a burning fever, or rather he ascended up into glory in the triumphant Chariot of victorious assurance ⟨p. 69⟩of the love of God in Jesus Christ. Rom. 8.37.

Lastly, Paral. 15 Elijah let fall his mantle upon his servant Elisha, who followed him in his ascension, both with his eye and voice. My Father, my Father, 1the Chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. This good man let fall the mantle of blessings and prayers, upon his dear Friends and Relations; that stood crying about him, in some such kind of phrase. My Father, my Father, &c. a blessing suitable to the state & condition of every stander-ly: And thus this servant of Christ made his LAST Will and Testament, & (if I be not mistaken) his ONLY Will & Testament of Praise and Prayer, praising God, and blessing men. And thus much for the Parallel between Elijah and our Reverend Brother.
