So I still observed this truly united pair (Mark
x. 8.) advancing in the way, for they greatly con-
tributed to help each other forward : many diffi-
culties they surmounted, and many rich blessings
they enjoyed, as they travelled in the way ; at last
they arrived at a pleasant hill in view of the Land
of Promise, full of delights, refreshing fruits,
pure streams, and desirable entertainments. Here
they first sat down, and rested in a delightful ar-
bour, blessing God, and congratulating one ano-
ther, in consideration of their enjoyment. Then
they went and refreshed themselves among the
fruit's and fountains, and afterwards they ascended
to a tower, where was a large prospective glass,
from whence they looked back upon Babylon, and
saw it all in flames, and the country turned to
burning pitch. Then they gave praise and glory
to God for their wonderful deliverance they had
in the way. Then they took a prospect of the land
before them, and saw Jerusalem, the Royal Pa-
lace, the goodly Mountain of Lebanon, the clus-
ters of Eshcol, and all the rivers flowing with
milk, and the hills dropping down sweet wine ?
Then they looked below to the streams of Jordan
and beheld the great High Priest, in his shining
robes, waiting to carry them over, Psalm xxiii.
4. Isa. xxxiii. 21. Rev. xix. 8. But I awoke,
and behold it was a Dream.
But the thing was CERTAIN, and the interpre-
tation thereof SURE.
