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.

The Beatifical object applieth it self to the created understanding, together with the understanding, causing this blessed Vision. By its eminency it hurteth not, but perfecteth the understanding, as is implied in its denomination of the Beatifical Vision.

The light of glory is a glorious supernatural influence, concurring with, and enabling of the inherent principle, of the glorified understanding, to see God. The light of glory may be so called, because it accompanieth the state of glory; it is a created perfection.
The light of glory is a glorious supernatural influence, concurring with, and inabling of the inherent principle, of the glorified understanding, to see God. The light of glory may be so called, because it accompanieth the state of glory; it is a created perfection.
As assisting grace is unto an act of new obedience, so is the light of glory unto the Beatifical Vision; as that extraordinary ⟨p. 334⟩assistance was unto Moses, whereby from the top of Pisgah he was enabled at once, to take a true, full, and clear prospect of the Land of Canaan, Deut. 3.27. and as that extraordinary assistance was unto Stephen, whereby whilst he was yet on earth, (the Heavens being opened) he saw Jesus Christ at the right hand of God; so is the ordinary assistance of the light of glory, in the life of glory, unto the blessed, in order to the Beatifical Vision.
