The Sun in the beauty and strength thereof, doth not more cause the eye to dazzle, then the viewing and beholding of this glory, which God communicateth with his beloved ones, doth astonish and abash the heart to think of it: which is so true that David the man of §CGod, did many years, after he felt himself beloved of God, fall into this holy admiration, as that God should do such great things for his soul, 1as deliver him from the nethermost grave, by which he meant hell.
