The Third Use Serves to Reprove and Expostulate for this unworthy carriage; for having either nothing at all, or but very little of a Conversation in Heaven: We take it for granted, that many of us are far from it, and that all of us are little in it; but very few even of the best are daily and constantly Conversing in Heaven; Alas! it's but now and then with many sad interruptions. For quickening this reproof and expostulation a little, let me propose these few Queries to you; and in the First place, do ye not know that the neglect of this is a sin and the breach of a Command; Be ye followers of me? 2. Is not this an excellent duty and royal privilege, to be admitted to converse in Heaven? And therefore the neglect of it must not only be a sin, but a great sin, even a trampling on the Grace of God, a slighting of heaven and of a most noble privilege and dignity. 3. Think ye Heaven to be of great worth; if so, must not conversing in heaven be of much worth? Will ye never so much as once go to see the house, wherein ye say ye are to dwell? Q! How unsuitable a thing is it, that those who are but days men here, should sit down and settle on the earth without minding Heaven, and be so confined within time, as not seriously to mind eternity? 4.

Can ye pray for Holiness, and say these words, Thy will be done on Earth, as it is done in Heaven, who never studied to be heavenly in any duty, that ye put hand to? But 5. And above all, I would ask you, can ye hope to die comfortably, nay can ye hope to die in safety, as to your souls, who know not heaven, nor what is there, nor what is the way to it? It gives a man ⟨p. 125⟩confidence and comfort at death, that he hath conversed in heaven in his life-time; such a man hath but little to do, when he comes to die, he knows the way and is not afraid, he knows the company and longs to be with them; he knows the privileges and longs for the full enjoyment of them; he hath little here, his Treasure is above in heaven, and his heart, Faith, Love, and hope are there; his Anchor is cast within the veil, and he would fain be ashore: sure this is the Believers both duty and privilege;
