glory_n which_o christ_n have_v as_o god_n this_o he_o never_o lay_v aside_o but_o as_o the_o sun_n in_o a_o dark_a gloomy_a day_n may_v not_o send_v forth_o its_o beam_n so_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o righteousness_n in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o abode_n upon_o earth_n except_o a_o little_a glimpse_n only_o in_o his_o transfiguration_n do_v not_o send_v forth_o his_o glorious_a beam_n but_o

discharge_v but_o christ_n as_o god_n will_v manifest_o put_v forth_o his_o more_o immediate_a glory_n to_o all_o his_o saint_n behold_v now_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o it_o do_v not_o yet_o appear_v what_o we_o shall_v be_v but_o we_o know_v when_o he_o shall_v appear_v we_o shall_v be_v like_o he_o 3.2_o 1_o john_n 3.2_o for_o we_o shall_v see_v he_o as_o he_o be_v mark_v it_o when_o he_o shall_v appear_v at_o and_o after_o the_o resurrection_n day_n we_o shall_v see_v he_o as_o he_o be_v i.e._n we_o shall_v see_v the_o very_a essential_a glory_n of_o jesus_n christ_n quest_n quest_n but_o what_o be_v the_o essential_a glory_n of_o christ_n i_o can_v answer_v it_o be_v a_o question_n not_o to_o be_v resolve_v by_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n we_o know_v little_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o saint_n how_o shall_v we_o know_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o essential_a glory_n of_o christ_n as_o god_n answ_n answ_n the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n speak_v to_o

of_o the_o divine_a majesty_n then_o he_o shall_v see_v he_o as_o he_o be_v but_o how_o that_o be_v i_o can_v tell_v come_v let_v we_o question_v this_o no_o further_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n that_o this_o infinite_a glory_n be_v not_o discover_v to_o we_o for_o as_o a_o weak_a eye_n be_v not_o able_a to_o behold_v the_o sun_n or_o to_o see_v in_o it_o rota_fw-la as_o the_o schoolman_n speak_v in_o that_o wheel_n or_o circle_n wherein_o the_o sun_n do_v run_v but_o only_o in_o the_o beam_n of_o it_o no_o more_o can_v we_o see_v christ_n as_o god_n in_o his_o glorious_a essence_n or_o in_o his_o essential_a glory_n but_o only_o in_o the_o beam_n thereof_o in_o his_o word_n and_o effect_n if_o now_o we_o know_v so_o little_a of_o spirit_n and_o spiritual_n oh_o then_o how_o little_a do_v we_o know_v of_o he_o who_o be_v the_o father_n of_o spirit_n i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o therefore_o let_v we_o be_v content_a to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o these_o thing_n till_o we_o
