Here, as in a glasse 〈◊〉〈◊〉, or as an old man thorow spe∣ctacles, but there, face to face: Happier herein then Solomons ser∣vants, for a greater then Solomon is here. A good man is like a good Angel, ever beholding the face of God. He looketh upon them with singular complacency, and they upon him to their in∣finite 〈◊〉〈◊〉. He seeth no iniquity in them; they no indignation in him. He looketh upon them in the face of Christ: And al∣though no man hath seen God at any time, yet God, who com∣manded the light to shine out of darkenesse, hath shined in our hearts, saith the Apostle, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Pure glasse or crystall hath light comming thorow: not so stone, iron or other grosser bodies. In like sort, the pure in heart see God, he shines thorow them: And as the pearl by the beams of the Sun becomes bright and radiant as the Sun it self: so we all with open face, beholding, as in a glasse, the glory of the Lord, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 transformed into the same image, from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord 2 Cor. 3. 18.
