the_o see_v of_o god_n the_o life_n of_o angel_n be_v call_v a_o continual_a behold_v of_o the_o face_n of_o god_n mat._n 18._o 10._o and_o the_o state_n of_o the_o saint_n glory_n and_o happiness_n

the_o see_v of_o god_n apply_v both_o to_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n do_v place_n their_o happiness_n in_o god_n alone_o exclude_v the_o creature_n and_o it_o do_v import_v the_o fullness_n and_o

application_n from_o the_o discovery_n of_o the_o future_a state_n of_o the_o saint_n i_o find_v myself_o fill_v with_o indignation_n 1._o reproof_n against_o the_o carnal_a conceit_n that_o many_o

creature-comfort_n nay_o indeed_o of_o sinful_a and_o abominable_a pleasure_n as_o one_o may_v read_v in_o their_o alcoran_n it_o may_v be_v few_o christian_n be_v altogether_o so_o sensual_a but_o sure_o i_o be_o the_o far_o great_a sort_n of_o christian_n so_o call_v be_v very_o gross_a and_o carnal_a at_o least_o very_a low_a in_o their_o conceit_n of_o the_o state_n of_o future_a happiness_n heaven_n be_v a_o word_n as_o little_o understand_v as_o holiness_n and_o that_o i_o be_o sure_a be_v the_o great_a mystery_n in_o the_o world_n it_o will_v be_v tedious_a to_o run_v through_o the_o particular_a various_a apprehension_n of_o man_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o indeed_o impossible_a to_o know_v they_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o people_n understand_v either_o just_a nothing_o by_o heaven_n but_o a_o glorious_a name_n or_o at_o best_o but_o a_o freeness_n from_o bodily_a torment_n as_o nothing_o of_o hell_n affect_v they_o but_o that_o dreadful_a word_n fire_n so_o nothing_o of_o heaven_n but_o the_o comfortable_a word_n rest_v or_o safety_n other_o it_o may_v be_v think_v there_o be_v something_o positive_a in_o heaven_n and_o they_o dream_v of_o a_o honourable_a easic_a

it_o as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v mighty_o take_v with_o such_o a_o fine_a name_n as_o arabia_n the_o happy_a and_o by_o a_o blind_a fervour_n of_o mind_n shall_v desire_v to_o go_v and_o visit_v it_o other_o rise_v high_a yet_o in_o their_o apprehension_n of_o heaven_n and_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o holy_a state_n but_o that_o holiness_n be_v negative_a viz._n a_o perfect_a freedom_n from_o sin_n and_o all_o temptation_n to_o it_o and_o indeed_o this_o be_v a_o precious_a consideration_n and_o that_o wherein_o many_o a_o weary_a soul_n find_v much_o rest_n but_o yet_o this_o amount_v not_o to_o the_o life_n of_o angel_n it_o be_v a_o low_a consideration_n of_o heaven_n than_o what_o our_o saviour_n here_o present_v we_o with_o the_o state_n of_o the_o glorify_a saint_n shall_v not_o only_o be_v a_o state_n of_o freedom_n from_o temporal_a pain_n or_o eternal_a pain_n or_o a_o freedom_n from_o spiritual_a pain_n and_o imperfection_n but_o a_o state_n of_o perfect_a
