Our Consent.

Our consent with thē I will set down in two conclusions. Conclus. I. The saints departed pray vnto God, by giuing thanks vnto him for their owne re∣dēption, & for the redēption of the whole church of God vpon earth, Rev. 5. 8. The foure beasts and the foure and twentie elders fell downe before the Lambe, — 9. and they song a newe song, Thou art worthie to take the booke, and to open the seales thereof: because thou wast killed and hast redeemed vs to God— .13. And all the creatures which are in heauen—, heard I saying, Praise and honour and glorie and power be vnto him that sitteth vpon the throne, and vnto the Lambe for euermore.

II. Conclus. The Saints departed pray generally for the state of the whole church. Reu. 6.9. And I saw vnder the altar, the soules of them that were killed for the word of God —, and they cried, 10. How long Lord holy and true! doest thou not iudge and aueuge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? whereby we see they desire a finall deliuerance of the church, and a destruction of the enemies thereof; that they themselues with all the people of God might be aduanced to fulnesse of glorie in bodie and soule: yea the dumbe creatures, Rom. 8. 23. are said to grone and sigh, waiting for the adoption, euen the redemption of our bo∣dies: much more then doe the Saints in heauen desire the same. And thus farre we consent.
