For heauen ex- ceedeth all this in glory, fo firre _as that no tague is able to expreffe, nor heart of man to conceiue:the glory thereof : as witneffeth Paul who was in it : and raw it. O let vs not then dote fo much vpon there woodden cottages and hou- fes of' moulding clay , which are but the Tents of vngodlineffe, and habitations of' (inners ! but let vs looke rather , and long for this Heavenly Citie, zrhofe builder and maker ù GOD: which he (who is not afhaanted to be called our God) hath prepared far vs. H 2.0 fi Heb.t i. io Eieb.I i.6.
