Chriff,
if
we
may make
a
comparifon
of
low
things with
high
;
As now,
you
cannot
look
iron
the
Sun
in
its
Glory,
as
in
the
Firmament , but
when
the
Sun
Mies
"upon
the
water,
there
you may fee
the
luffer
of the
Sun ;
fo
take
God
as
in
himfelfe
confidered,
as
infinite
Creator of
all things
;
as
we
are here
in this;world our eyes
doe dazell
tobehold
Gods
Ef-
fence,
we cannot
behold
it,
or
not
able-
to
expreffe
it
at
Ieaf+,
but
in
Jefus Chriff
we come
neereff to the beholding
of
God,'
in
Jefus Chriff
as
God
-man,
there
we may come
to behold
very much of
the Glory,
yea of
the
face
of
God;
and
there-
fore
you
find
that
in the Gofpel
we
are
Paid
to behold
God
with open face,
2 Cor:

But
we
all
with
open
face
be-
holding
as in
a
Glaff
e
the
Glory
of
the
Lord. He

And

No

But
here
in the new Teffament
you
