2. God fills the hungry soul with peace. Rom. 15.13. The God of hope fill you with joy and peace; this flows from Christ. Israel had honey out of the Rock; this honey of peace comes out of the Rock Christ. John ⟨p. 177⟩16. ult. that in me ye might have peace. So filling is this peace, that it sets the soul a longing after heaven; this Cluster of Grapes quickens the appetite and pursuit after the full Crop.
3. God fills the hungry soul with bliss: Glory is a filling thing. Psal. 17. ult. When I awake, I shall be satisfied with thy image. When a Christian awakes out of the sleep of death, then he shall be satisfied, having the glorious beams of Gods image shining upon him; then shall the soul be filled brim-full; the glory of heaven is so sweet, that the soul shall still thirst; yet so infinite, that it shall be filled.
Qui te Christe bibent, dulci torrente refecti Non sitient ultra, sed tamen & sitient. —
