sweetnesse with our Glorie, then they that mourned, here shall laugh: those that fasted, shall feast: and them im∣prisoned, shalbe enlarged.
3. Tis a life of triumph, there be palmes in their hands, in token of victorie: then the poore child of God, that is now militant, shall triumph.
4. Tis a life of safetie, there no theefe can come to rob, no enemie to assalte, no Divell to tempte; there shall be no arrest, no suite, nor accusation against us.
5. A life of love, Love is the Law of the Kingdome, everie one is glad of anothers felicitie; so the ioy is mixt, and enlarged: they so abounding in love one to another, and all to the Lord.
6. Tis a spirituall life glorified, there is no thirst, nor wearinesse, or lumpishnesse.
7. Tis a life of knowledge, Ignorance is expelled, we know here in part; but then we shall know in perfection.
8. Tis a life of praises, then prayers cease, but prai∣ses never cease; we shall doe it for ever with spiri∣tualnesse, and livelinesse; and againe we sound forth the praises of God, and againe, and againe, with infinite sweetnesse.
9. Tis a life of Communion with Christ, and the Angels, and all the Elect: we shalbe all of one mind, none shall separate from this assemblie; nor one pro∣fane man be admitted.
10. Tis a life of Satisfaction, we shall say, Lord I have enough, Lord I am full, I am satisfied, richly rewarded; here we ever want something, but that life knowes want of nothing.
