Commeth, or ascendeth, as it is said of Jerusalem, They went up to Jerusalem, and of Aegypt, they went downe to Aegypt, Gen. 42. 2. So that the Spouse ascendeth upward, The way of wisedome is on high to the wise, that he may depart from Hell beneath, Prov. 15. 24. Grace, glorie, and comfort come from above, and draw our minds upward, and our desires to be above, so as to sit toge∣ther with Christ in heavenly places, as the Apostle saith, and to have our conversation in heaven.
