Oh! the transcendency of that Paradise of Pleasure! where is Joy without Heaviness or Interruption; Peace without Perturbation; Blessedness without Misery; Light without Darkness; Health without Sickness; Beauty without Blemish; Abundance without Want; Ease without Labour; Satiety without Loathing; Liberty without Restraint; Security without Fear; Glory without Ignominy; Knowledge without Ignorance; Eyes without Tears; Hearts without Sorrow; Souls without Sin: Where shall be no Evil heard of to affright them, nor Good wanting to cheer and comfort them; they shall have what Good they desire, and desire nothing but what is good; their Promises shall end in Performances; Faith in Sight and clear Vision; Hope in Fruition and Possession: Yea, Time it self shall be swallowed up in Eternity.
