Such salutations possibly the Angels may give to the Saints at their resurrection. Arise ⟨p. 27⟩ye that are highly favoured of God, come forth ye that are greatly beloved: welcome, welcome ye happy ones: ye that are blessed amongst the Children of men: your Lord is come d•wn and stayeth for you; he hath sent us to call you, and convey you into his Presence, and bring you where he is, that you may see and share in his glory: O how will such words make their hearts to glow within them? How joyful will such a message be unto them? O happy they that ever they were born! or rather that ever they were new born! O happy they that they should live, that they should be raised to see such a day as this will be! O what looks! what speeches! what joys will they have, when they are entertained by the Angels?
