SECT. XVIII.* 1.1

10. ANd lastly,10 1.2 we shall Rest from all those sad affections, which necessarily accompany our absence from God. The trouble that is mixt in our desires and hopes, our longings and waitings, shall then cease. We shall no more look into our Cabi∣net, and miss our Treasure; look into our hearts, and miss our Christ; nor no more seek him from Ordinance to Ordinance, and enquire for our God of those we meet; our heart will not lie in our knee, nor our souls be breathed out in our requests; but all con∣cluded in a most full and blessed Fruition: But because this with the former, are touched before, I will say no more of them now. So you have seen what we shall Rest from.
