Inferences.
WE may infer from hence, that God's Children are not such Fools, as they are accounted by the Ungodly World; they have made a good Choice, in preferring Heaven above Earth. What's the Glory of this World to the World to come? Yea, Paradise, or the Garden of Eden, was but a Wilderness compared with this Paradise. And indeed, if the Gates of the City be of Pearl, and the Streets of Gold, what then are the Inner Rooms, and Lodging Chambers, of the Great Monarch of Heaven and Earth, at whose right Hand are Pleasures for evermore?
II. Let not the Saints grow weary, nor faint in their Minds, when Heirs of a Crown of Glory that fadeth not away; methinks they may be contented to undergo some Troubles in this Life, since by suffering these things for Christ's sake, they shall be crowned with Glory, Honour, and Everlasting Life; They shall receive the Crown of Life, &c. Jam. 1.12.
