BUT as for me (saith David) I will behold thy face in Righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake, with thy likeness, Psal. 17. 15. It is Christ alone, who is the Likeness and Image of God. When we awake in the other World, with our Minds purified and rectified, the beholding of him shall be always satisfying unto us. There will be the• no Satiety, no Weariness, no Indispositions; but the Mind being made perfect in all its faculties, powers and operations, with respect unto its utmost end, which is the enjoyment of God, is satisfied in the beholding of him for evermore. And where there is perfect satisfaction without Satiety, there is blessedness for ever. So the Holy Spirit affirms of the four living Creatures in the Revelation; They rest not day nor night, saying, holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty, Chap. 4. 8. They are continually exercised in the Admiration and Praises of God in Christ, without weariness or interruption. Herein shall we be made like unto Angels.
