THE Angels themselves desire to look into the things of the Glory of Christ, 1 Pet. 1. 10, 12. There is in them Matter of Enquiry and Instruction for the most high and ⟨p. 31⟩holy Spirits in Heaven. The manifold Wisdom of God in them is made known unto Principalities and Powers in heavenly Places by the Church, Ephes. 3. 10. And shall we neglect that which is the Object of Angelical Diligence to enquire into; especially considering that we are more than they concerned in it?
IS Christ then thus glorious in our Eyes? Do we see the Father in him, or by seeing of him? Do we sedulously, daily contemplate on the Wisdom, Love, Grace, Goodness, Holiness, and Righteousness of God, as revealing and manifesting themselves in him? Do we sufficiently consider, that the immediate Vision of this Glory in Heaven will be our everlasting Blessedness? Doth the imperfect View which we have of it here, increase our Desires after the perfect Sought of it above? With respect unto these Enquiries, I shall briefly speak unto sundry sorts of Men.
