Notwithstanding there is a certaine manifestation of gods glorie: partly more obscure, partly more apparant.
The more obscure manifestation, is the vision of Gods majesty in this life by the eyes of the mind, through the help of things perceived by the outward senses. Esa. 6.1. I saw the Lord sitting upon an high throne, and lifted up, and the lower parts thereof filled the temple. Exod. •3.22. And while my glory passeth by. I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand whiles I pass by: after I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts, but my face shall not be seen. 1. Cor. 13. 12. Now we see as through a glass darkly.
