"Oh bless God for faith even ye
of little faith at its first entrance
if gives your Souls a lift from earth
to Heaven. There it lists your names
no longer men of this world but
henceforth citizens with the Saints
and of the houshold of God There
is hath laid you up an inheritance
& thence it brings you your
maintenance thither it turns
your eyes & all your streams
it shews you what you have
there & by those beams it draws
you up thither. Those to whom
it shews the least of [thy glory?]
it shews enough to disgrace the
glory of the world and as the
Sun-light grows so doth all the
beauth of the world fade & vanish
out of sight. By faith our
conversation is in heaven &
then our hearts are there.
The more they are in heaven
the less will they be on earth
when the world has lost
our love it hath lost its
power over us."
