So that we must be satisfied in this mystery, without farther enquiry; and pray to be contented in that point, to be as happy when we die, as God's departed Saints are, until they and we arise toge∣ther. And this is great comfort, to know that we shall be with them in death, if we do sincerely endeavour to live and die in God's favour, as they did: And so make ready to go, where we all pretend to desire to be, when we can stay no longer here.
