Heaven upon earth, or, The best friend in the worst of times. Delivered in…

In Heaven there will be a perfect Harmony, Suitableness and Agreement between God and thee for ever; and thou wilt take infinite complacency and delight in him, and he in thee. And thus shalt thou spend Eternity in unconceivable joy, delight and pleasures. This is Heaven, a perfect suitableness to God, and enjoying him for ever. O when, when, when shall it once be? Come Lord Jesus, come quickly, Come O blessed Father by thy Spirit, and burn up what is unlike thee! O create a greater suitableness between my Soul and thee! O come thou down to me, or take me up to thee! O could we but talk with one of those happy Creatures that hath been in the very presence of God in glory, and should we ask him, whether he were not weary of the same work, of the same company, the same place; what answer, do you think he would make you? No more weary than a man upon the Rack, but just before would be of perfect ease; no more then a healthful hungry man is of eating; no more weary than the Sun is of running, than the ⟨p. 135⟩Fire of ascending, or a Stone of falling towards the Centre. Sen. Epist. 10. I know not where I had rather be then with him. I was once upon Earth as you are now; and now I am in Heaven, and in neither of both these places can I find one that I can take more delight in then God. I must say as he, Psal. 73.24. Whom have I in Heaven but him? and there is none upon earth that I can desire in comparison of him. I can't desire a better employment then a delightful constant attending upon my God: Can I have better Company then such a Father? Cana greater happiness be conceived then Eternal Glory, a pleasanter place then Heaven? That which I can speak, you can't hear; and could you (though in this perfect glory) I can't express what you will find and feel when you come hither. O had I but known so much as I do now, when I was in your condition upon earth, I should with incomparable greater earnestness have sought after acquaintance with God then I did. In his presence is fullness of joy, at his right hand are pleasures for evermore: Now I feel, now I know it. I thought one smile sweet upon earth, but now I see and feel infinitely more what you enjoy now, is a shadow, in comparison of what you will enjoy hereafter. O what do you mean, that you prize his favour no more, that you get no more intimate acquaintance with him?
