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

There is a great power that now attends realizing thoughts of God; whether it appear in the consequent working of the soul directly towards God, or by way of reflection upon it self. If directly towards God, how mightily is he admired; who is a God like unto thee! If by reflection upon our own sin, and vileness; how deeply doth it humble,—Now mine eye seeth thee, therefore I abhor myself—Woe is me, I am undone,—mine eyes have seen the Lord of glory. If by way of reflection upon our interest in him, or relation to him; how mightily doth it support and comfort? I will look to the Lord, ¹—my God will hear me. How full of rich sense is that Scripture, They looked to him, and were lightened, ²one look clothed them with light, cast a glory upon their souls; filled them with life and joy: 'twas but a thought, the cast of an eye, and they were as full as hearts could hold. O, the power then of these heavenly visions! when we dwell in the views of that transforming glory!
