In Heaven then, they see that Man, who is God as well as man, and in whom there dwells the Fullness of the Godhead Bodily a They see that Man, who once appeared in the Form of a Servant, but now is Highly Exalted with a Name about every Name: They see that Man, who Sits down at the Right Hand of the Majesty on High, Swaying the Sceptre of the Universe. They see Him, with Eternal Transport! And as it is in the Enjoying of the Light, the Enjoyment that one man has of it, hinders not, abates not the Enjoyment of another; So in this Inheritance of the Saints in Light, the Sight of the altogether Lovely Lord JESUS CHRIST Enjoyed by one Saint, is no Hindrance to the Sight which ⟨p. 81⟩another Saint has of Him, or to his Joy in the Sight.
