Here we do see him but dimly and darkly, at the best, and there are oftentimes clouds come in, and interpose themselves, between Christ and us: but then we shall see him face to face, and never shall there cloud come between Christ and us to all eternity. There we shall see him in his Glory, his full discoveries.
