The orthodox evangelist. Or A treatise wherein many great evangelical truths (not a few whereof are much opposed and eclipsed in this perilous hour of the passion of the Gospel) are briefly discussed, cleared, and confirmed: as a further help, for the begetting, and establishing of the faith which is in Jesus. As also the state of the blessed, where; of the condition of their souls from the instant of their dissolution: and of their persons after their resurrection.

Dr. Willet upon Exodus 33. denieth not, that the souls of men in the next life, shall see the Divine Essence apprehensively, not comprehensively or fully; which is all that is intended, and as much as is taught by sober Writers, either ours, or others.
