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⟩is divine, and doth emanate from the God of truth, in whom it is, there to be read as in its original, and lieth open for all the whole University of those heavenly Academics to peruse. Yet we must remember, that the divine essence is an arbitrary and voluntary glass, manifesting all mysteries not by necessity, but according to the freedom of his own will; there the Saints may read to the full the Mystery of the blessed Trinity, how three in one, and one in three, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, God blessed for ever! That thrice glorious and (till we come to Heaven) not to be fathomed Mystery, the wonder and adoration of the believing world, that immense ocean, over which so many daring Spirits having essayed to fly, have fallen in and been drowned: that burning light, unto which so many presuming to approach too near, have scorched their wings, and lost both their eyes and themselves together: that sacred Ark, into which too many presumptuous Bethshemites, ²having dared, over boldly, to look, have been smitten: What is essence? And what is person? And how they differ? How the Father begets, and the Son is begotten, and how the Holy Ghost proceeds from both: how they are distinguished, by their order, their personal properties, and manner of working upon the Creature: how the Father worketh from himself, the Son worketh from the Father, and the Holy Ghost worketh both from the Father and the Son: How there should be alius & alius, and not aliud & aliud, &c. These will be Lectures which shall be read in the Trinity it self in glory, and that in a most clear and intelligible notion.
