Death a Departure.
Phil. 1.23. Having a desire to depart, &c.
WE at Death leave one Place to go to another: If godly, we depart from our Place here on Earth, and go to Heaven; we depart from our Friends on Earth, and go to our Friends in Heaven; we depart from the Valley of Tears, and go to the Mount of Joy; we depart from an howling Wilderness, to go to an heavenly Paradise. Who would be unwilling to exchange a Sodom for a Zion, an Egypt for a Canaan, Misery for Glory?
