Sacramental meditations upon divers select places of scripture

It pleaseth the Majesty of Heaven sometimes to admit poor Worms of the Earth to such sensible and sweet perceptions ⟨p. 2⟩of himself, as are found above all expressions, and seems to be a transient glance upon that glory, which glorified eyes more steadily behold above, Believing we rejoice with joy unspeakable, and full of glory, or glorified joy, ¹as it is, 1 Pet. 1. 8. And yet how sweet and excellent soever these foretasts of Heaven are, Heaven it self will be an unspeakable surprise to the Saints, when they shall come thither.

And yet how sweet and excellent soever these foretasts of Heaven are, Heaven it self will be an unspeakable surprize to the Saints, when they shall come thither.
