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

Do not debase this pleasure by low thoughts; nor frame too daring positive apprehensions of it. 'Tis yet a secret to us. The eternal converses of the King of glory, with glorified Spirits, are only known to himself and them. That expression (which we so often meet in our way) It doth not yet appear what we shall be; seems left, on purpose, to check a too curious and prying inquisitiveness into these unrevealed things. The great God will have his reserves of glory, of love, of pleasure for that future state. Let him alone a while, with those who are already received into those mansions of glory, those everlasting habitations. He will find a time for those that are yet pilgrims and wandering exiles to ascend and enter too.

In the mean time what we know of this communion may be gathered up into this general account, The reciprocation of loves; the flowing and reflowing of everlasting love, between the blessed soul and its infinitely blessed God; Its egress towards him, his illapses into it.

Unto such pleasure doth this likeness dispose and qualify: You can no way consider it, but it appears a most pleasurable satisfying thing.
