The one is, A sight of Christ in his misery, in the 12 of 1Zech. ver. 10.
- 1As one scale goes up, the other goes down: So as faith goes up, the heart goes down.As one scale goes up, the other goes downe: So as faith goes up, the heart goes downe.
And the other is, A sight of Christ in his glory, Rev. 1. 7. Isa. 6. 1, 3, 5. compared.
