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

First, In all its parts; as it is in the first instant of the souls entrance into the state of regeneration (the womb of Grace knows no defective maimed births.) And yet here is no little advantage, as to this kind of perfection; For now those lively lineaments of the new creature all appear, which were much obscured before; every line of glory is conspicuous; every character legible; the whole entire frame of this Image is in its exact Symmetry, and apt proportions, visible at once. And 'tis an unspeakable addition to the pleasure of so excellent a temper of Spirit, that accrues from the discernible entireness of it. Heretofore some gracious dispositions have been to seek (through the present prevalence of some corruption or temptation) when there was most […] occasion for their being reduced […]. Hence the reward and pleasure of […], and improvement of the principle ⟨p. 117⟩were lost together. Now the Soul will be equally disposed to every holy exercise, that shall be suitable to its state. Its temper shall be even, and Symmetral; Its notions uniform, and agreeable; nothing done out of season. Nothing seasonable omitted, for want of a present disposition of Spirit thereto. There will be not only an habitual, but actual entireness of the frame of holiness in the blessed Soul.
