2. Intellectual, or intelligible: that spiritual glory that only comes under the view and contemplation of the glorified mind.
1. A sensible glory, (to begin with what is lower) is fitly in our way to be taken notice of; and may well be comprehended (as its less-principal intendment) within the significancy of the expression the Face of God. So indeed it doth evidently signify, Exod. 33. 11. And if we look to the notation of the word, and its frequent use as applied to God, it may commodiously enough and will often be found to signify, in a larger and more extended sense, any aspect or appearance of God: And though it may be understood verse 23. of that Chapter to signify an overcoming spiritual glory, as the principal thing there intended, such as no soul dwelling in flesh, could behold, without renting the veil and breaking all to pieces; yet, even there also, may such a degree of sensible glory be secondarily intended, as it was not consistent with a state of mortality to be able to bear.
