1. Light will be clear, 2. Love will be perfect.
1. Their Light will be clear. They shall be so divinely irradiated, that they shall know the [Greek or Hebrew], the deep things of God. They shall in this sense be [Greek or Hebrew], as the Angels, Mat. 22.30. Their Intellectuals shall be raised higher, and made more capacious than in Innocency. Through the Chrystal Glass of Christs Humane Nature the Saints shall have Glorious transparent sights of God: they shall know as they are known, 1 Cor. 13.12. A riddle too mysterious for us Mortals, if not for Angels to expound.

2. In that day the Saints Love will be perfect: Love is the Queen of the Graces, it out-lives all the other Graces.
