Ans. This place Exod. 33.20. is foolishly wrested by Saltmarsh, 1for God speaketh not in that place of the seeing of God by faith in the light of his Spirit, as if these natural faculties were annihilated and pulled out in regeneration; and God did actually see, know, believe, love in us, and our souls were turned over unto dead passive organs; nor doth God speak there to Moses of regeneration, but he represseth the spiritual and too much curiosity of Moses, who desired to see God face to face, and more then the Lord was pleased to reveal in this life to him or to any in the state of mortality, ⟨p. 296⟩Moses desired to see more then the Lords back parts, v. 18. Moses said, I beseech thee show me thy glory. God answers, so much as is good and profitable for him he should see, but his glory, as in the life to come, he could not see in this life.
