IT is now time to consider, that sight which we shall have of the Glory of Christ in Heaven, in comparison of that which we have here below. Now this is equal, stable, always the same without interruption or diversion. And this is evident, both in the causes or means of it, as also in our perfect Deliverance from every thing that might be an hindrance in it, or an obstruction unto it.

1. WE may consider the state of our minds in Glory. The faculties of our Souls shall then be made perfect, Heb. 12. The Spirits of just Men made perfect. (1.) Freed from all the clogs of the flesh, and all its influence upon them, and restraint of their Powers in their Operations. (2.) Perfectly purified from all Principles of instability and variety; of all Inclinations unto things Sensual and Carnal, and all Contrivances of Self-preservation or Advancement, being wholly transformed into the Image of God, in spirituality and holiness. And to take in the state of our Bodies after the Resurrection; even they also in all their Powers and Senses, shall be made entirely subservient unto the most spiritual actings of our Minds in their highest Elevation by the Light of Glory. Hereby shall we be enabled and fitted eternally to abide in the Contemplation of the Glory of Christ, with joy and satisfaction. The understanding shall be always perfected with the Vision of God, and the Affections cleave inseparably to him; which is Blessedness.
