Parental wishes and charges. Or, The enjoyment of a glorious Christ, proposed, as the great blessedness, which Christian parents desire, both for themselves, and for their children. In a discourse, now put into the hands of such parents, as would be assisted in their duty, by putting such things into the hands of their children. : [Two lines of quotation in Latin]

II. In the Enjoyment of a CHRIST Appearing to us, as the Work, the Glorious Work of God, there is laid up the Great Blessedness desired by every Godly Christian. Two Instructions lie plainly before us.
II. In the Enjoyment of a CHRIST Appearing to us, as the Work, the Glorious Work of God, there is laid up the Great Blessedness desired by every Godly Christian. Two Instructions ly plainly before us.
First. Our Enjoying of a CHRIST, is in His Appearing to us. Tis by the Seeing of a CHRIST, that we come to the Having of a CHRIST. Some Enjoyment of a CHRIST is to be attained ⟨p. 19⟩in this world. But this Enjoyment lies in […] Fiducial Sight of him. Hence we read, Psal. 9. 10. They that know thy Name will put their trust in thee. The Scripture does Reveal much of a CHRIST unto us; and the Spirit which indited the Scripture does assist us to Receive What the Scripture does Reveal. We Enjoy a CHRIST. when we Receive him, and Apprehend the glorious work of God in him, as he is tendered unto us, in the Evangelical Revelation. But the whole and full Enjoyment of a CHRIST, is not attained, until we come unto the world that is to come. And this Enjoyment will be in the Immediate Sight of him. Hence we read, 1 Joh. 3. 2. We shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. There will a Day come, when the Sun of Righteousness will Irradiate us with his Directest Influences. We shall one Day be in the presence of the Lord, and walk all the Day long in the light of His Countenance: A Day, when we shall be presented Faultless before the presence of His Glory with exceeding Joy; A Day, when we shall see His Face, and the Lord God ⟨p. 20⟩will give us ••ght, and an Eternal Day. Hasten, basten, O thou Day o God We shall than indeed Enjoy a CHRIST, and be forever with the Lord.
