2. There is a looking with joy; Rom. 5.2. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God. There is terror in a sinners looking, it is called [Greek or Hebrew], a fearful looking for of judgement, Heb. 10.27. as a man in debt looks every hour when the Serjeant shall arrest him, but the Saints is a joyful looking; as a man looks for a friend, or for one that is to pay him a great sum of money. So Moses looked with joy to the recompense of reward, Heb. 11.26.
