honour to bear the name we should act towards each ather in such a manner as to convince the world we have a just title to it . And now , my brethren , ( for such I will call you in great sincerity ) what is the end of all I have said?—is it not this ; —That we who now see and admire the building of God in the heavens , in the earth , in the world , and in society , may at last see the grand Architect
himself , with whose wisdom we are delighted , whose truth we aspire to imitate , and at whose power we are justly astonished . Then shall we be witnesses to that great work yet to come , the resurrection of the dead , the raising up of that tabernacle which death throws down ; together with the display of the new heavens and the new earth , wherein dwclleth righteousness . Great are the thing-s we have seen ,
but much greater are the things we have not seen . f he sun at his rising discloses a set of new objects , which the shadows of the ni g ht had colored and rendered invisible : so shall the day of life , when it opens upon v . s , discover to us such things as the eye neither hath nor ' can see in this mortal state : —we shall see man changed into a new being . We have seen him the child of sin , ignorance , and sorrow .
V ' e shall then see him in possession of immortal life , perfect knowledge , eternal felicity . We that have seen God darkly as he is reflected and figured to us in the g lass of natural objects , shall then see Jiim ' as he is , in his own image . For this great si g ht let us prepare ourselves . Let us walk in the way to it ; let us live in the hope of It : for we know that if our ' earthly house of this tabernacle be dissolved , wc have a building of God , an house not made with hands , eternal in the heavens .
To God , therefore , the builder of all that hath been or shall be ; to the Father , Son , and Holy Spirit , be ascribed all wisdom and power , might , majesty , and dominion , now and forever . Amen .
