15. As for me. “I neither
envy nor covet these men’s happiness, but partly have and partly hope for a far
better.” To behold
God’s face and to be changed by that vision into his image, so as to partake in
his righteousness, this is my noble ambition; and in the prospect of this I
cheerfully waive all my present enjoyments. My satisfaction is to come; I do
not look for it as yet. I shall sleep awhile, but I shall wake at the sound of
the trumpet; wake to everlasting joy, because I arise in thy likeness.
