As the object of the Intellect, the Injoyments of Heaven are still consider'd by us as True, and so are properly contemplated as Things not seen whereof there is yet no other Evidence, than that of Faith. But as the object of the Will, they are consider'd by us as Good, and so are properly here expressed by Things hoped for, and Faith of such may be call'd the Substance.
