Second Use, Use 2 Labour to see God on this side glory, to begin your vision on Earth, which shall never cease in Heaven. Indeed the vision in Grace and the vision in Glory are one and the same vision; the object is the same, God; and the faculty is the same, the eye of the Soul: they differ only in two circumstances.

First, In the Medium. Here we see in glasses, the Works of God, ¹the Creatures are a glass, the Heavens declare the glory of God, ²and the providences of God are a glass, Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth ⟨p. 47⟩knowledge: Every days experience, and every nights experience, is a glass wherein much of God is to be seen; and the Gospel is a glass, wherein we all, as in a mirror, ³behold the glory of the Lord: And lastly, the glass of Ordinances, Preaching, and Prayer, and Sacraments, all these be glasses; and meditation is a glass; faith is another way of vision; by faith Moses saw him who is invisible; all these, I say, ⁴are glasses wherein we may see God. But alas! The glass takes away from the object and darkens our vision, as painted glass in the Church windows, they let in some light, but keep out more; but in Heaven we shall see without glasses, face to face, the Lamb shall be the light in that Temple.
