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.

The joy of the Spirit shineth in the countenance, no wonder if the faces of those shine, whose spirits are filled with joy, by beholding the face of God; the Sun radiates, and shows it self thorough the Window, the Fire sends forth a bright lustre thorough Chrystal.

Stephens Face (in this life) was seen, as it were the face of an Angel, Act. 6.15. behold how Moses his face shone, upon a little speech with God in the Mount; (what then may be concluded from the perpetual, and perfect vision of him?) so as Aaron, and all the Children of Israel were afraid to come nigh him, Exod. 34.30. but, Then shall the righteous shine forth as the Sun in the Kingdom of their Father, he that hath ⟨p. 351⟩cars to hear let him hear, Mat. 13.43. not that they shall not out-shine the Sun, but because there is no more shining body visible to us; therefore are the Bodies of the Saints in glory compared thereunto. When Christ upon the Mount put on the apparition of that glory for a little time (which now he wears for ever) Peter, and James, and John, were unable to bear the sight of that transfiguration, and of Moses and Elijah appearing with him in glory, Mat. 17.2. Luk. 9.31.33. Mar. 9.6.
