HE himself out of his infinite Love and ineffable Condescension, upon the Sight and View of his Church, ⟨p. 46⟩and his own Graces in her, wherewith she is adorned, doth say; Thou hast ravished my Heart, my Sister, my Spouse, thou hast ravished my Heart with one of thine Eyes, with one Chain of thy Neck, Cant. 4. 8. How much more ought a believing Soul, upon a View of the Glory of Christ, in whom it pleased the Father, that all Fullness should dwell, to say, Thou hast ravished my Heart, taken it away from me, O thou whom my Soul loveth; One Glance of thy glorious Beauty upon me, hath quite overcome me, hath left no heart in me, unto things here below? If it be not thus with us frequently, if we value not this Object of our Minds and Affections, if we are not diligent in looking up unto him, to behold his Glory, it is because we are carnal, and not in any good measure partakers of the promise, that our Eyes shall see the King in his Beauty.
