To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A malefactor, by pardon, is in a capacity to come into the presence of a prince, and serve him at his table: but he is not in a fitness till his noisome garments be taken off. Can one that is neither pardoned nor purified ; one with the guilt of rebellion upon him, and a nature of rebellion in him, be fit to stand before God ? Again, contemplation of God, is a work in heaven. There shall be a perfect knowledge ; therefore a de- lightful speculation. The angels behold his face, and that always. ...The saints shall see him as he is. It is not a stu pid sight, but a gazing upon the face of this Sun, with a refined and ravishing delight. For this work, there must be a change of judgment The eye must be re- Contemplation of God, 207 stored. It is as possible for a blind eye to behold the Sun, or a weak eye to stare in the face of it, as for a blind understanding to behold God. For it is not a being in the place of heaven, but having a faculty dis- pc^ed, which elevates us to the knowledge of him.
