Fifthly, Besides these, those whom God pardons he puts a glory upon them; there is a glory put upon all pardoned sinners; they are indeed glorious creatures in the eyes of God and Angels, yea, and there is a glory put upon them that the Saints of God are able to see; perhaps that glory is not seen by the purblind eye of the world that are in darkness; but those that have their eyes in their heads, may see a glory put upon every soul that is pardoned, and for that, that Text is clear, Rom. 8.30. Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified: 'tis not spoken only of that glory the Saints shall have in the highest Heavens, when they shall be in glory with Christ; but of that glory God puts upon the soul in this world, 'tis not said, them he will glorify; but them he hath also glorified: there is no justified soul but is a glorified soul, this is a certain truth in Divinity, That at that instant any soul is justified, at that instant he is glorified; in Jer. 33.9. there is an expression somewhat like unto that, and it follows upon pardon of sin; And it shall be to me a Name of joy, a praise, and an honour before all the Nations upon Earth, &c. that is, I will put glory upon them, and so they shall be to me a name of joy, a praise, and an honour before all the Nations in the world: you will say, How is that? What is the glory of a justified soul? certainly the soul that is justified is glorious; God puts a glory on it by those glorious graces of his Holy Spirit that he endows the soul withal; there is no justified soul but hath the glorious graces of the Holy Spirit put presently upon it, and so 'tis beautiful and glorious, yea the only glorious object that the Lord Jesus Christ delights in in all the world: take the poorest soul in the world, God putting his Image upon it, there is a greater glory and lustre on that soul than is on all the Heavens and the Earth besides; take all other creatures in their greatest glory, and God sees not so much glory on them as on any one soul whom he hath justified; for so it is, Holiness and the graces of Gods Spirit are called the glory of God himself, Rom. 3.23, 24. For we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God; What is it to be deprived of the glory ⟨p. 176⟩
