Indeed, God's people might think that the Lord who had appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, and the rest of the patriarchs, and had ordained them to live as pilgrims in tents, that then he had not ordained fixed habitations for the wicked, and so they might hope that that city should be demolished. For Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob lived all thus, being heirs with him of the same promise, and the reason of it is given, " Because he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God."* This is the only thing that will make us to go on without longing, and be content with the fare and entertainment of pilgrims: nothing will move us so mickle to the doing of this as faith---to remember that there is a Jerusalem above. If we could think upon this, (and ofttimes he sends us hard fare for this end), it would be well. Great spirits in the world will devore (achieve) many things; but there is nothing will breed such contentment in greatest straits as this, that there is a city prepared for us that cannot be shaken, a city that will stand against all the storms that can blow, because it is builded upon the rock.
