A. 1. He is one that lives as if he saw the Lord; that in some measure so lives. He does all, as if he saw God stand by. All the day he waits on God, Psal. 25. 5. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation, on thee do I wait all the day. 2. He is one that liveth on a Christ whom he never saw. Lives on him with Trust in him, Adherence to him, Love of him, Joy in him, 1 Pet. 1. 8. Whom having not seen, ye love, in whom though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. 3. He is one that judges of men by their invisible insides. Pitying the ungodly who pity not themselves, because they see not what he sees. And admiring the inward beauty of the Saints, through' all their poverty seeing God's Image. Valuing none for stature, complexion, clothes, or learning, &c. Psal. 15. 4. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned: but he honoureth them that fear the Lord: he that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. 4. He is one that seeks a Happiness that he never saw; and that with a greater estimation and resolution than he seeks any things that he hath seen. 5. He is one, that, all his life, prepareth for a day that is yet to come; and for the presence of his Judge. One, that is asking, O what Life and Actions will be sweetest upon review when I come to my doom! Not so much caring, what will now best please the flesh, and ingratiate with men. 6. He is one careful to prevent a threatened misery that he never felt; and a place of torment that he never saw.— Other Faiths are ineffectual Dreams. And (remember) to dream you are Princes, may consist with Beggary.
