Chap. 21.

THE next place*place shalbe the Fruits & Effectes fol∣lowing vpon their se∣uerallPage  107causes: which al∣so affoords very feeling and copious matter to our Meditation; where∣in it shall be euer best, not so much to seeke for all, as to chuse out the chiefest.

No maruell then if from this glory proceede nonspeakeable ioy, and from this ioy the sweete songs of praise & thāks∣giuing. The spirit bids vs, when wee are merrie, sing: How much more then, when wee are mer∣rie without all mixture of sorrowe, beyond all Page  108 measure of our earthly affections, shall wee sing ioyfull Hallelu-iahs, and Hosannahs to him that dwelleth in the highest heauens? Our hearts shal be so full that we cannot chuse but sing, and wee cannot but sing melodi∣ously; There is no iarre in this Musicke, no end of this song. Oblessed chāge of the Saints; they doe nothing but weepe be∣lowe, and now nothing but sing aboue; we sowed in teares, reape inioy; there was some comfort in those teares, when Page  109 they were at worst; but there is no danger of cō∣plaint in this heauenly mirth; If we cannot sing here with the Angels, On earth peace, yet there wee shall sing with them, Glory to God on hie; and ioyning our voi∣ces to theirs, shall make vp that celestial consort, which none can either heare or beare part in, and not be happie.
