Ezekiel48:35

Ver. 35. It was round about eighteen thouſand meaſures] See on ver. 32. and on Rev. 21.16.

The Lord is there] Jehovah-ſhammah: this is the true Churches name, and the true Chriſtians happineſs; ſuch as no good can match, no evil overmatch, viz. that whereſoever he is there God is, and therefore there heaven is: like as where the King is, there his Court is: this very name implyes Gods everlaſting being with his Church, according to thoſe precious texts of Scripture, every ſyllable whereof dropeth myrrh and mercy, Lev. 26.11, 12. Mat. 18.20. & 28.20. Joh. 14.23. 1 Cor. 15.28. Rev. 7.14. &c & 21.3, 4, 5. & 22.3, 4, 5, 6. This is the truth of that, which the Temple whil'ſt it ſtood as a type or figure did repreſent, This is my reſt for ever; here will I dwell, Pſal. 132.14. God will not forſake his Church as he did the Synagogue, but have it up to heaven to him, Rev. 21. where are crowns, ſcepters, Kingdoms, beatifical viſions, unutterable exſtaſies, ſweeteſt varieties, felicities, eternities; and all becauſe Jehovah ſhammah, the Lord is there: to him be glory and praiſe everlaſting. Amen. So be it.

Soli Deo Gloria. The Jews having finiſhed a book, adde, Benedictus qui dat fatigato robur.
