And it seems God (if I may so say) is as much taken with the beauty of their holiness; they have their denomination from their holiness, Saints, in English, Holy ones, such as God accounts to be his Inheritance, yea, the glory of it; they were so while they were below; ¹The riches of the glory of his inheritance in the Saints: What is it above, where their holiness is consummate, where the Saints are now presented by Christ, a glorious Church, even (like their God) glorious in holiness, ²not having spot or wrinkle, neither sin, nor shadow of sin, neither spot nor appearance of a spot, but holy and without blemish, immaculate holiness! there is not so much as a stained thought, not an inordinate motion, in the whole Region of Heaven to defile that upper world; this God delights in, because in the holiness of the Saints he sees the reflection of his own face, God pleaseth himself to see, how like himself he could make a Creature! such was the design in the first Creation; Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness, ⟨p. 80⟩³(it was the counsel of the thrice blessed Trinity:) and now though once it suffered a miscarriage, it is perfected with advantage by the second Adam. ⁴An Argument that it was not a miscarriage of improvidence, but of ordination: In a word, in Heaven there is but one will between God and the Saints, and that will is Gods.
