Grace The Beatifical Vision i. e. To see God in the same Immediateness and Clearness and Perfection as the Glorious Saints see him in Heaven is reserved for the Life to come as God said to Moses Thou canst not see my Face and Live our State of Mortality is not capable of it The way and manner of Gods shewing himself to the Faithful in this state of Mortality is as Cant. 2.9 He looketh forth at the Windows shewing himself through the Lattice That is all the usual and ordinary means of Grace above-mentioned we see here but darkly as in a Glass for we walk by Faith and not by Sight i. e. Such a clear sight as we shall have in the Future State The Prophetical Vision even of Moses or any others did not amount to the Beatifical Vision but was presented by some Mediums sometimes External and sometimes Internal to their outward and inward Senses The which Communications of the Spirit being generally received in the use of the Word and Sacraments and other Holy Duties as Wine or any other Cordial is received into the Mouth by some Vessel yet the Vessel goes not into the Stomach to nourish the Body but the Wine or Cordial so it is the Life and Vertue that is conveyed by the outward Word and Sacraments that Nourisheth and Feedeth Refresheth and Strengtheneth the Soul and is like the Bread and Water that the Prophet Elijah received by the Angel in the strength whereof he was to go Forty Days The like inward Comfort and Strength the Reverend Hearers of the Word and Worthy i. e. duly Qualified Receivers of the Lords Supper do experience which will abide with them for many days and for ever I do therefore recommend to you the Diligent and Frequent Use of all the means of Grace with earnest Prayer to Almighty God for his Grace and help of his Spirit to make them effectual Hear the Word with Reverence receive it with Meekness and Love Meditate upon it and after ye have heard it in Publick recollect and call it to remembrance in Private And ye that are Masters of Families call your Children and Servants to account what they remember of it that it may be more deeply engrafted and rooted in all your Hearts and bring forth fruit in you And thus going on and walking in a continual course of Holy Duties and Holy Living we shall go from Strength to Strength until we appear before God in Zion viz. the Heavenly Zion above where God is to be seen Face to Face And may we all feel the Love of Christ more and more to Constrain us to Love him and Live to him who Died for us until we come to be with him where he is to behold his Glory and have a full Enjoyment of him Which God grant for Christs sake Amen THE END Advertisement THIS is to give Notice That a Printed Sheet call'd Mr. George Keith ' s Account of a National Church c. Humbly Presented to the Bishop of London Published by Tacy Sowle the Quaker Printer which she hath delivered to the Hawkers as one of them told me to cry about the Streets is a Quaker-Cheat Writ and Publish'd altogether without my Consent or Knowledge and the whole containing some unsound imperfect and lame Quotations out of my former Books wrot by me when I was among them and in these and some other things Deceived by them is long since Retracted and Disowned by me in a Book publish'd called George Keith's Retractations The which being Retracted by me doth no more affect me but them who have Published them against me to Defame me for my Retracting them However this their Cheat and Abuse hath this Service That thereby they declare in the face of the Nation that they are still chargeable with these Errors and that Uncharitableness which I thank God I have Retracted And it is an evidence that their Cause and Case is bad when they have no better Weapons wherewith to fight against me but the Errors which I have Retracted and which they still hold with many more and much greater whereof I never was guilty and which I have proved them guilty of in my Fourth Narative Printed this present Year 1700 in above Two Hundred and Fifty Quotations faithfully Collected out of their Approv'd Authors to which they have given no Reply nor are ever like to give to any purpose nor to divers others I have Publish'd against them What Blindness and Hardness of Heart and Obstinacy hath befallen them who instead of Retracting their own Errors or seeking to clear themselves thereof seek to Defame and Abuse me for my Retracting mine But the Abuse and Shame they cast out against me falls upon themselves G.
