THE Fifth Sermon.
ISAIAH 25. 8. And all tears shall be wiped away from all faces.
ISAIAH 25. 8. And all teares shall be wiped away from all faces.
Not only death shall be swallowed up in victory, but God will wipe away all tears from all eyes; Religion shall be religion, good things shall be good things, nothing shall go under false notions, all tears shall be wiped away; we have now many causes of tears. In the world there is continual raising of clouds that distil into drops of tears; had we nothing without us to raise a vapour to be distilled in tears, we are able to raise up mists from our own mists, from our own doubts and conflicts within.

In the world there is continuall raising of clouds that distill into drops of teares; had we nothing without us to raise a vapour to be distil'd in teares, we are able to raise up mists from our owne mists, from our owne doubts and conflicts within.
