Wherein
the
fight of
god
is
a
blef
red
thit.
Thirdly,
It
is
the
bleffedneffe
of the glorious Church
When
the Lord
f
ball
raife his
Church
to
the
greatefl height
of
Tory,
one
of the fpeciall bleffedneffes
that
[hall be
then,ihall
be
the
fight
of
God.
In the
zz
Revel.

And
they
[hall
fee
his:fáce.
There were
many
things named
to
fet forth
the ex-
cellency
and
glory
of
the !fate
of the
Church, but this
is
the
fpeciall
, And
they
fhall
fee his face.
The truth
is,
in
compari-
fon
ofwhat !hall be hereafter,
we
fee
little
or nothing at
all,
we fee
the
back
parts
of
God
;
But
there
is
a
time
for
the
Church
to
inlay
fo
much of
God,
and
it's
fpoken
of
a
time in
this
world;
for
the Chapt: before thews
that it's
a
time when
the Kings
of the earth
shall
bring
their Glory
to
the
Church;.
they !hall
not bring it
to
heaven
;
And they shall
fee
the
face
of
God.
Fourthly, The
fight
of God
here,
is
the beginning
of life,
.
yea
the
beginning
of
eternal! life
;
This
is
life
eternal/
to
krow
John 17.

thee
the
only
true
God,
and
T
efiu
Chrifl
whom thou
haft
fent
into
world.
Men doe not live
till they
come
to
know
God,
men
in
the
world are dead Carkafes
,
but
when
they
come
to
know
God,
they
come
to
live,
yea
they begin
to
live
the life of
eter-
nity,
O
bleffed are
they.
Fifthly,
Ìt's
the
glory
of
heaven for
the
Saints
to
fee
God.

Beloved,
now
are
we
the
Eons
of
God,
and it
doth,not
appeare
what
we
fhall
be,
but
weknow
that
when he
f
hall ap-
peare, we
[hall
be like
him
;for
we
[hall
fee
him
as he
is,
faith
the
text. Now the
feeing him
as
he is, we
fpeak
not to
for
the.
pre
-
fent,
I
rarely
mention this
text
now
to thew that it
is
a'
very
bleifed
thing
to
fee .God for
it
is
that whereby the bleifed-
nefle
of the
Saints
in heaven
is
ex,retled
by
the
holy
Ghoft;
We
fhall
be
like
him
;
Why
?
how
?
we
fha'I
fee
him as
he
is
That
will
be
the
happineffe we
!hall have when
we come
to
heaven,
That
we thall
fee
God.
Sixthly,
It's
the.
h4ppineífe
of the Angells, not
only
the
Saints,
bût the
Angelis have
not
a
higher happinetie in heaven,
then the
fight
of the
face
of God
:
and
therefore
in
the
a
S-
Math:
To.
where we read
of
a
defcription
of the h.rinineffe
of the
Angells; the
words are
;
In
heaven
their
Angelis
