AND thus I have briefly set before you the Glass in which you may see the Lord, and told you how he must be known: and how he must be conceived of in our apprehensions; and how the knowledge of God must be improved, and what impressions it must make upon the heart, and what effect it must have upon our lives: Blessed and for ever blessed are those souls, that have the truly and lively Image of this God, and all these his Attributes imprinted on them, (as to the Creature they are communicable.) And O that the veil were taken from our hearts, that we all with open face beholding as in a glass the Glory of the Lord, may be changed into the same Image from Glory to Glory, as by the spirit of the Lord, 2 Cor. 3. 18. and may increase and live in the knowledge of the true and only God, and of Jesus Christ, which is Eternal Life.

Amen.
