1When Daniel had described the greatness and glory of the Princes, Potentates and mighty States in the four Monarchies, at last he comes to speak of a Kingdom which is the greatest under the whole Heaven: and that is the Kingdom of the Saints of the most High. So glorious is the state of the poor despised Servants of God, even here in this world, in the Kingdom of grace. Daniel 7.27. And if there be such suing, on earth, to become free-men of great Cities, especially to live in the Courts of great princes, how great is the felicity of every child of God, who is no more now a ⟨p. 9⟩foreigner or stranger, but a Citizen with the Saints, 2and of the hous•••ld of God.
