CHR. I can better conceive of them with my mind, than speak of them with my tongue. God's things unspeakable: but yet, since you are desirous to know, I will read of them in my book. PLI. And do you think that the words of your book are certainly true? CHR. Yes, verily; for it was made by Him that cannot lie. PLI. Well said; what things are they? CHR. There is an endless kingdom to be inhabited, and everlasting life to be given us, that we may inhabit that kingdom for ever. PLI. Well said; and what else? CHR. There are crowns and glory to be given us, and garments that will make us shine like the sun in the firmament of heaven. PLI. This is very pleasant; and what else? CHR. There shall be no more crying, nor Sorrow: for He that is owner of the place will wipe all tears from our eyes.
