of GOD, (which the louers of the world doe hate and deride) that is of ano∣ther nature. That City is eternall: No man (a) is borne in it, because no man * 1.1 dieth in it. Felicity is there fully, yet no goddesse, but a Gods guift: of this ha∣bitation haue wee a promise by faith, as long as wee are here in pilgrimage on earth, and longe for that rest aboue. The Sunne ariseth not there both vpon good and bad, but the Sonne of righteousnesse shineth onely ouer the good. * 1.2 There shalbe no neede to respect the common treasury more then the priuate, truth is all the treasure that lieth there. And therefore the Romaine Empire had that glorious increase, not onely to bee a fit guerdon to the vertues of such worthies as wee fore-named, but also that the cittizens of heauen in their pilgri∣mages vpon earth, might obserue those examples with a sober diligence, and thence gather how great care, loue, and respect ought to bee carried to the hea∣uenly country for life eternall, if those men had such a deare affect to their earth∣ly country for glory so temporall. * 1.3
