Heaven to be alwaies in our thoughts. [ 1708]

IT is reported of a Reverend Preacher that sitting amongst other Divines, and hearing a sweet consort of Musick,* 1.1 as if his Soul had been born up to Heaven took occasion to think and say thus;* 1.2 What Musick may we think there is in Hea∣ven? Another taking a serious view of the great pomp and state at Court upon a Collar-day, spake not without some admiration; What shall we think of the glo∣ry in the Courts of the King of Heaven? And thus must we do, as we read the book of Nature, be still translating it into the book of Grace, as we plod on the great Volume of Gods works,* 1.3 be sure to spell on the word of use, of instruction, of comfort to our selves; the spiritualizing of Earthly things is an excellent art, And that's a happy object, and well-observed that betters the Soul in grace.
