4. Our seeing of God in Heaven will be unweariable. Let a Man see the rarest Sight that is, he will be soon cloyed; when he comes into a Garden, and sees delicious Walks, fair Arbours, Pleasant Flowers, within a little while he grows weary. But it is not so in Heaven; there is no Surfeit, Ibi nec Fames nec Fastidium, Bern. The Saints will never be weary of their Prospect, viz. of seeing God; for God being infinite, there shall be every Moment new and fresh Delights springing from God into the Souls of the Glorified.
II. The Second thing implied in our enjoying God, is our Loving of God, [Greek or Hebrew]; it is a Saints grief that his Heart is like the Frozen Ocean, that he can melt no more in Love to God; but in Heaven the Saints shall be like Seraphims burning in Divine Love. Love is a pleasing Affection. Fear hath Torment in it, 1 John 4.18. Love hath Joy in it. To love Beauty is delightful: God's amazing Beauty will attract the Saints Love, and it will be their Heaven to Love him.
