will_v more_o ready_o rise_v in_o a_o infinite_a height_n unto_o our_o more_o serious_a and_o sober_a apprehensiion_n the_o first_o that_o all_o thing_n which_o god_n do_v for_o his_o own_o glory_n he_o will_v perform_v they_o like_o himself_o that_o be_v like_o god_n and_o so_o make_v the_o utmost_a of_o every_o thing_n that_o that_o subject_a matter_n whatever_o it_o be_v will_v afford_v of_o glory_n to_o he_o this_o rule_n be_v ascertain_v to_o we_o as_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n so_o from_o that_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 1._o 21._o where_o he_o condemn_v the_o gentile_n that_o they_o glorify_v he_o not_o as_o god_n that_o be_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o be_v worthy_a of_o he_o they_o come_v not_o up_o to_o that_o height_n of_o glory_n so_o great_a a_o god_n must_v have_v give_v unto_o he_o from_o creature_n now_o if_o it_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o creature_n that_o they_o fall_v short_a in_o glorify_v god_n as_o god_n then_o be_v assure_v that_o if_o god_n himself_o undertake_v and_o profess_v to_o do_v a_o thing_n for_o his_o glory_n he_o will_v in_o the_o whole_a of_o it_o and_o issue_n thereof_o either_o glorify_v himself_o as_o god_n or_o never_o

through_o each_o particular_a that_o follow_v that_o then_o if_o god_n seek_v to_o glorify_v himself_o in_o a_o way_n of_o punishment_n that_o punishment_n must_v be_v answerable_o great_a and_o proportion_v to_o raise_v up_o a_o glory_n unto_o god_n such_o as_o shall_v glorify_v he_o as_o god_n in_o that_o way_n for_o it_o be_v the_o punishment_n or_o the_o judgement_n itself_o which_o he_o
