299 God make himself the Object of immediate Intuition to the Bleffed; and as he can, 'tis not improbable that he will, always condefcending, in the Circumstances of doing it, to the Weakness and Proportion of finite Minds. His Works but faintly reflect the Image of his Perfections, 'tis a Second-hand Knowledge: To have a juft Idea of him, it may be neceffary that we fee him as he is. But what is that? 'Tis fomething, that never entered into the Heart of Man to conceive; yet, what we can eafily conceive, will be a Fountain of Unfpeakable, of Everlasting Rapture. All created Glories will fade and die away in his Prefence. Perhaps it will be my Happinefs to compare the World with the fair Exemplar of it in the Divine Mind; perhaps, to view the original Plan of those wife Defigns that have been executing in a long Succeffion of Ages. Thus employed in finding out his Works, and contemplating their Author! howfhall I fall proftrate and adoring, my Body fwallowed up in the Immenfity of Matter, my Mind in the Infini-. tude of his Perfections.
