The Conclusion.

ANd thus I have explained to you the subject of my Text, and shewed you darkly, and in part, what this Rest is; and briefly, who are this People of God. O that the Lord would now open your eyes, and your hearts, to discern, and be affected with the Glory Revealed! That he would take off your hearts from these dunghil delights, and ravish them with the views of these Everlasting Pleasures! That he would bring you into the state of this Holy and Heavenly People, for whom alone this Rest remaineth! That you would exactly try your selves by the fore∣going Description; That no Soul of you, might be so damnably deluded, as to take your natural or acquired parts, for the Cha∣racters of a Saint! O happy, and thrice happy you, if these Ser∣mons might have such success with your Souls, That so you might die the death of the Righteous, and your last End might be like his! For this Blessed Issue, as I here gladly wait upon you in Preaching, so will I also wait upon the Lord in Praying.

FINIS.
