And then again, if we shall ever see God in glory, in this glorious and triumphing manner, This is the Lord, This sight is a changing sight. There is no sight of God, but it changeth, and alters to the likeness of God. When he calls to look up to him, and he looks on us in favour and mercy. The best fruit of his favour is grace, of peace, and joy, for these be beams that issue from him, grace, as beams from the sun. But where-ever God looks ⟨p. 125⟩with any favour, there is a conformity to Christ, a gracious, humble, pitiful, merciful, obedient disposition, which is an earnest of the Spirit of Christ.

And there is a study of purity, of a refined disposition from the pollutions of the world; The pure in heart shall see God, they that hope to see God for ever in heaven, will study that purity that may dispose, and fit them for heaven. And there is such a gracious influence in it that they that hope for heaven, the very hope must needs help to purify them.
