The face of God
Now this law is an incorruptible picture of the high and holy one that inhabits eternity. It is he whom in his essence no man has seen or can see, made visible to men and angels. It is the face of God unveiled: God manifested to his creatures as they are able to bear it: manifested to give and not to destroy life; that they may see God and live. It is the heart of God disclosed to man. Yes, in some sense we may apply to this law, what the apostle says of his Son, it is the streaming forth or out-beaming of his glory, the express image of his person (Hebrews 1:3).

3. Now this law is an incorruptible picture of the high and holy one that inhabiteth eternity. It is he whom in his essence no man hath seen or can see, made visible to men and angels. It is the face of God unveiled: God manifested to his creatures as they are able to bear it: manifested to give and not to destroy life; that they may see God and live. It is the heart of God disclosed to man. Yea, in some sense we may apply to this law, what the apostle says of his Son, it is ἀπαύγασμα τῆς δόξης, καὶ χαρακτὴρ τῆς ὑποστάσεως αὐτοῦ· The streaming forth or out-beaming of his glory, the express image of his person.
