4. Because it is a merry heart that makes a continual feast, 1and that this feast might be a Gaudy-day indeed unto thy soul, Christ doth here promise, to wipe away all tears from off the faces of his people. The Gospel hath comforts enough to make glad the hearts of the Saints and people of God: the light of Gods countenance will refresh them with joy unspeakable, and glorious in the midst of the valley of the shadow of death. A truly godly person can weep for his sins, though the world smile never so much upon him; and though he be never so much afflicted in the world, yet he can and will rejoice in the God of his salvation. In these Sermons thou hast this Gospel-promise sweetly opened and applied; wherein thou shalt find directions when, and for what to mourn and weep, and the blessedness of all true mourners, whose sorrow shall be turned into joy.
