Pray therefore earnestly to God for this Divine illumination; pray Pauls Prayer, Eph. 3. 16. to 20. Oh! How glorious will Christ appear when he comes to Judge the World! when he shall come in the Glory of his Father, when he shall be attended with an innumerable company of Angels, and in great Majesty sit down upon a Throne of Judgement! when Holiness shall be to him for a Robe, and Righteous for a Garment! Then to be like Christ, holy as •e is holy, adorned with his Robes, Resplendent with his Glory, sitting down upon Thrones with him, and with him Judging the World; ⟨p. 126⟩when he shall declare us Heirs of his Kingdom, Children of his Father, and make us sharers with him in the purchased Possession, and it shall be known that he took possession of all that Glory, not for himself alone, but in the name of all those who had believed in him, then it shall be known that it was not a vain thing to serve him, and to suffer with and for him; then shal• our happiness be full, perfect, eternal, when we shall by plentiful experience know, that to be like him, is to be everlastingly blessed in the full fruition of the most glorious God to all eternity.
