SECT. 4.
A Cordial for the pure in heart.
3. LET me turn my self to the pure in heart. Use 3 1. Stand amazed at this privilege, that you who are worms crept out of the dust, should be admitted to the blessed sight of God to all Eternity; it was Moses his prayer, I beseech thee show me thy glory, Exod. 33.18. The Saints shall behold Gods glory; the pure in heart shall have the same blessedness that God himself hath; for what is the blessedness of God, but the contemplating his own infinite beauty.
