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

2. Both the vision of God, and likeness to him must be considered in their relation to the consequent satisfaction, and the influence, they have in order thereto. I say both; ⟨p. 71⟩for though this satisfaction be not expressly, and directly referred by the letter of the text, to the sight of Gods face, yet its relation thereto, in the nature of the thing, is sufficiently apprehensible and obvious, both mediate, in respect of the influence it hath towards the satisfying assimilation, and immediate (which we are now to consider) as it is so highly pleasurable in it self: and is plainly enough intimated in the text, being applied in the same breath to a thing so immediately, and intimately conjunct with this vision, as we find it is. Moreover, supposing that [likeness] here do (as it hath been granted it may) signify objective glory also as well as subjective, and repeat what is contained in the former expression [the face of God] the reference satisfaction hath to this vision (which the remention of its object, though under a varied form of expression supposes) will be more express: therefore we shall show.
