confluence and concurrence of all good whatsoever, either honest,
profitable or pleasant. And this Blessedness shall meet the watch∣full
soul in death, and embrace it. The watching Christian, his life
is blessed, his death is blessed: blessed by grace, blessed by glory;
blessed in body, blessed in soul. Blest soul that immediately enjoyes
blessedness in the Kingdom of Heaven where God is all in all to
his elect 1 Cor. 15. 28. where is eternal life and perfect glory. Eternal,
life, which is that Fellowship with God, whereby God himself is
through the Lamb Christ, Life unto the elect. For in the Kingdom
of Heaven, the elect shall not need meat, drink, sleep, air, heat. cold,
physick, apparrel, or light of Sun or Moon, but in place of all these,
shall they have Gods spirit, by which immediately they shall be
quickned for ever. Revel. 21. 3. 23.
And perfect glory, which is that wonderfull Excellency of the
Saints, whereby they shall be in a far better estate than heart can
wish. For first, they shall everlastingly behold the face of God,
which is the Glory and Majesty of God, Rev. 22. 4. Secondly they
shall be most like to Christ, to wit; just, holy, incorruptible, glo∣rious;
honourable, excellent, beautifull, strong, mighty and nimble
1 Iohn 3. 2. Phil. 3. 21. Thirdly they shall inherit the Kingdom of
Heaven 1 Pet. 1. 4. Matth. 25. 34. whence proceeds Eternal joy,
and the perfect service of God immediately. Eternal joy, had Peace
with safety, safety with security, security with Eternity. The joyes
above are for Matter, spiritual, for substance, real, for use universal,
for continuance, Eternal, Psal. 16. 11. Psal. 36. 8. There the King
is Verity, the Law Charity, the Peace Felicity, and the Life Eternity.
The service of God consists onely in Prayse and Thansgiving
Rev. 21. 3. and Rev. 5. 12, 13. and 11. 17. see the Texts. The manner
of performing this service, is to worship God by God immediate∣••y.
In Heaven there shall neither be Temple, Ceremony, nor Sacra∣ment,
but all these wants shall God himself supply together with
••he Lamb that is, Christ, Rev. 21. 21. I say no Temple therein, for the
Lord God Almighty, and the Lamb are the Temple of it. The service

••resence of the Throne of God, & serve him day and night in his Temple.
