C•me ye blessed, inherit the Kingdom: and when this comes to pass, it shall make amends fo• all their sufferings and sorrows which he•e they underwent for Christ: when he shall declare them blessed, and bid them to come with him, and be where he is in his Kingdom, that prepared Kingdom, that Kingdom which is filled with all Glories, and all the World shall hear this Sentence pronounced, then shall they appear to be happy men, whiles those standing on the Left hand, are tremblingly waiting to hear a contrary doom.
