First, Holiness is the Image and glory of God. His image Coll. 3.10. and his glory, Exod. 15.11. who is like unto thee, O Lord, glorious in holiness. Now when the guilt and filth of sin is washed off, and the beauty of God put upon the soul in sanctification, O what a beautiful Creature is the soul now. So lovely in the eyes of Christ even in its imperfect holiness, that he saith, Cant. 6.5. Turn away thine eyes from me for they have overcome me.1 So we render it, but the Hebrew word signifies, they have made me proud, or puffed me up. It's a beam of divine glory upon the Creature, enamouring the very heart of Christ.
