can be comprehended by human understanding, and of such happi∣nesse that greater cannot fall within our desires. Therefore we simply believe, we who are of Christ, we are ruled by his Spirit, who depend on his word, and who place all our confidence of salvation in him, that all shall be most happy, and all shine like the Sun in the sight of God,* 1.2 that we shall see God as he is, and all live a heavenly and divine life with Christ and his Angels, freed from all sin, all misery, all evil, without a∣ny more sorrow, without fear, with out want or desire of any thing, be∣cause God will be all in all,* 1.3 and we shall see his face, and in that city there shall be no night, nor shall there be need of any candle or light of the Sun, be∣cause the Lord God shall give us light, and we shall reign for ever and ever with Christ Iesus our head Spouse, Saviour. Lord, to whom praise, honour and glory for evermore. Amen.
