This, this, Christians, is Gospel vision, which as it doth necessarily tend to, so it will infallibly expire into the beatifical, facial vision in glory. How rare are those Christians, that do experience this vision of God in the Ordinance, yea, how rare are they that do thus breath, and pant, and cry out for the living God with this holy Psalmist? Hence darkness, hence deadness, hence formality, a powerless profession hath woefully spread it self upon the face of Christianity, yea, upon the very reformed parts of it. Let Christians stir up themselves, and let their souls press hard after God, when they come to Ordinances, or else this very thing will be worse to them than all the evil that befell them from their youth until now, it may provoke God to withdraw even the Evangelical vision from them here, and, without great repentance, to deny them admission to the beatifical vision hereafter: They that will not seek Gods face in Grace, shall not see Gods face in Glory.

The sixth and last object of the beatifical vision is, 1All things in God. God is the universal Library of all truth, whether divine or natural; yea, all truth (quà truth) ⟨p. 43⟩
