_Heavenly contemplation exemplified, and the whole work concluded._

A Christian prepared for the work, may contemplate,

"The excellency of heavenly rest; 294

Its nearness dreadful to sinners, joyful to saints, 295

Its dear purchase; 296

And its difference from earth, ibid

He may plead with his heart, 298

May banish unbelief, ibid

And pity a careless world, 299

He may view heavenly rest as the object of love, ibid

And of joy, 304

He may lament his heart's indisposition to such joy, ibid

He may view heavenly rest, as the object of desire," 310

Evil consequences of neglecting such contemplation, 317

Saints excited to be constant in it, 318

The author's concluding prayer, 319
