First: Carnally, with an eye of flesh. So men saw him in the days of his ¹flesh, and despised him, Isa. 53. 2. Carnal eyes saw no beauty in him that he should be desired.

:304p. 88

Secondly: Fiducially, by the eye of Faith, believing is seeing Christ, Joh. ¹6. 40. Faith is to the Saints instead of eyes; by it they make Christ present, though the Heavens have received him out of our carnal sight.

:305p. 88

Thirdly: Beatifically, by the glorified eye. So the spirits of just men made ¹perfect, do by their mental eye see him in glory, and all the Saints after the Resurrection, shall with these Corporeal eyes, see their Redeemer, according to Job 19. 26, 27.
