← The Saint's Everlasting Rest A Treatise of the Blessed State of the Saints in Their Enjoyment of God in Heaven

_The Character of the Persons for whom this Rest is designed._

'Tis wonderful it should be designed for mortals, 71 1. The people of God, who shall enjoy it, are chosen from eternity, 72 2. They are given to Christ, ibid 3. They are born again, ibid 4. They are deeply convinced of the evil of sin, 73 their misery by sin, the vanity of the creatures, 74 and the all-sufficiency of Christ, 75 5. Their will is proportionably changed, 76 6. They engage in covenant with Christ, 77 7. They persevere in their engagements, 78 The reader is invited to self-examination, ibid That the people of God shall enjoy this rest, and 80 none but they, is further proved by Scripture; 82 and that they shall not enjoy it till they come to another world, 83 where their souls shall enjoy it while separated from their bodies. 84
