The blessedness of the righteous discoursed from Psal. 17, 15 /The blessednesse of the righteous discoursed from Psal. 17, 15 /

This satisfaction then is nothing else but the repose and rest of the soul amidst infinite delights. Its peaceful acquiescence, having attained the ultimate term of all its motions, beyond which it cares to go no further; the solace it finds in an adequate full good; which it accounts ⟨p. 63⟩enough for it, and beyond which, it desires no more; reckons its state as good as it can be, and is void of all hovering thoughts (which perfect rest must needs exclude) or inclination to change.

And so doth this being satisfied, not only generally, signify the soul to be at rest; but it specifies that rest; and gives us a distinct account of the nature of it. As that it is not a forced violent rest; such as proceeds from a beguiled ignorance, a drowsy sloth, a languishing weakness, or a desire and hope of happiness, by often frustrations baffled into despair▪ (to all which, the native import and propriety of that word [satisfaction] doth strongly repugn.)
