Now they see the God of glory, the King
of glory, the saints of glory, and the angels of glory; and the
kingdom in which they have their eternal abode. Now they also begin
to see the worth of Christ and what it is to be smiled upon by him,
from all which they must depart; and as I say they shall have the
view of this, so they will most clearly behold the pit, the
bottomless pit, the fire, the brimstone, and the flaming beds that
justice hath prepared for them of old.
At the day of judgment, will be tried whether thou art within that
part of the book of life wherein all the elect are recorded; for all
the elect are written here, as Christ saith, "Rejoice that your
names are written in heaven."
Now then, if thy name be not found either among the prophets or
apostles or the rest of saints, thou must be put by as one that is
cast away, as one polluted, and as an abominable branch. Thy name is
wanting in the genealogies and rolls of heaven; thou art not marked
for everlasting life; therefore thou must not be delivered from that
soul-amazing misery: for there are no souls can, though they would
give a thousand worlds, be delivered at the day of God, but such
that are found written in this book. Every one of those that are
written, though never a one of those that are not written, shall in
that day be delivered from the wrath to come.
