1. The society of all Saints. Those whom we have loved, and prized, with whom we have wept, and prayed: whose company on earth hath been refreshing. How welcome will a never-parting-meeting be in Heaven? Aye, those whom we have admired, though we never saw them, we shall then see, and enjoy for ever, Matth. 8.11. Many shall come from the East, and West, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the Kingdom of Heaven.

To join in the consort of praises with that sweet-singer of Israel, when you shall be persons after Gods own heart, without a but in your commendations?

They tell us now, they are our fellow-servants? but Christ hath told us more, we shall be their equals,
