have_v not_o the_o crown_n of_o glory_n to_o god_n &_o therefore_o not_o the_o crown_n of_o reward_n to_o themselves_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a lesson_n to_o say_v but_o a_o hard_a to_o learn_v and_o few_o but_o david_n have_v ever_o practise_v it_o not_o unto_o we_o o_o lord_n not_o unto_o we_o but_o unto_o thy_o name_n give_v the_o glory_n for_o be_v it_o not_o that_o we_o seem_v all_o to_o

when_o alas_o if_o we_o reserve_v any_o at_o all_o to_o ourselves_o we_o leave_v none_o at_o all_o for_o god_n for_o neither_o be_v glory_n a_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v part_v neither_o be_v god_n one_o that_o can_v endure_v a_o partner_n and_o special_o in_o his_o glory_n for_o though_o all_o his_o attribute_n be_v excellent_a &_o admirable_a yet_o majesty_n be_v attribute_v to_o none_o of_o

then_o to_o have_v a_o partner_n indeed_o god_n glory_n be_v in_o itself_o most_o perfect_a always_o and_o nothing_o that_o man_n can_v do_v can_v either_o add_v to_o it_o or_o detract_v from_o it_o but_o such_o be_v god_n graciousnesse_n to_o we_o so_o great_a his_o desire_n to_o endear_v we_o to_o he_o that_o he_o infinite_o overvalue_v our_o endeavour_n and_o set_v a_o far_o great_a price_n upon_o they_o then_o they_o be_v worth_a count_v as_o if_o we_o add_v to_o it_o when_o we_o detract_v not_o from_o it_o at_o least_o as_o if_o we_o then_o give_v it_o he_o when_o we_o ascribe_v it_o to_o he_o if_o therefore_o o_o my_o soul_n thou_o will_v ever_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o choir_n of_o angel_n to_o sing_v holy_a holy_a holy_a lord_n god_n of_o sabbaoth_n heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v

to_o he_o only_o that_o if_o the_o angel_n will_v undertake_v for_o heaven_n thou_o for_o thy_o part_n may_v undertake_v for_o the_o earth_n that_o their_o song_n shall_v sing_v out_o to_o the_o end_n heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v full_a of_o the_o majesty_n of_o thy_o glory_n that_o when_o both_o of_o they_o be_v full_a of_o his_o glory_n there_o may_v be_v no_o room_n leave_v for_o any_o of_o we_o
