IT is a Promise concerning the days of the New Testament, that our eyes shall see the King in his beauty, Isa. 33. 17. We shall behold the Glory of Christ in its Lustre and Excellency: What is this Beauty of the King of ⟨p. 29⟩Saints? Is it not, that God is in him, and he is the great representative of his Glory unto us? Wherefore in the contemplation of this Glory consists the principal exercise of Faith: And who can declare the Glory of this Privilege, That we who are born in Darkness, and deserved to be cast out into utter Darkness, should be translated into this marvellous Light of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the Face of Jesus Christ.
