And we are told by the great Pagan Theologue ^*in what state we can have the felicity of that spectacle; not in our present state: When we have, indeed, but obscure representations of such things as are, with souls, of highest excellency. But when we are associated to the blessed quire. When we are delivered from the body (which we now carry about as the Oyster doth its shell.) When we are no longer sensible of the evils of time, when we wholly apply our selves to that blessed vision, are admitted to the beholding of the simple permanent sights, and behold them, being our selves pure, in the pure light; Then have we the view of the bright shining pulchritude, &c.
