6. It will be an unweariable sight: Let a man see the ra•est sight that is, he will soon be cloyed; when he comes into a Garden and sees delicious walks, fair Arbours, pleasant Flowers, within a little while he grows weary; but it is not so in heaven, there is no surfeit*; we shall never be weary of seeing God; for the Divine Essence being infinite, there shall be every moment new and fresh delights springing forth from God into the glorified soul; the soul shall not so desire God, but it shall still be full; nor shall it be ⟨p. 264⟩so full, but it shall still desire; so sweet will God be, that the more the Saints behold God, the more they will be ravished with desire and delight.
