A fourth Perfection is Sanctity, 1the understanding shall be made perfect in holiness: In the state of separation, The spirits of just men are made perfect, and surely the soul ⟨p. 39⟩looseth nothing of its sanctity, by being united to the body in glory. Now of all divine qualities, none doth more capacitate the Soul for the vision of God, than holiness, witness that holiness is called the divine nature. 2Holiness assimilateth unto God, and the perfection and delight of vision is founded in conformity; it is so in the Evangelical vision, Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God, according to the purity of the heart is the vision of God. What a glorious vision of God will that be, which the perfection of holiness shall advance the soul unto, when the glorious object shall both-enlarge and purify the faculty.
