Piety and Support you against the Unjust Dealings of the Wicked So Behold His Holiness as to Admire and Imitate it And let the Apprehensions of His Truth Fix and Quicken you for an Heavenly Life because God's Commands are Serious and His Threatnings and Promises Real and True In short God is to be Honoured in our Minds by such Admiring Thoughts of him as may Raise and Cherish such Dispositions of Mind as may Bear a Due Proportion to the Name of God in All his Perfections Relations and Works and may Well Become Us as His Creatures Subjects Lovers and Beneficiaries who Owe Our All unto Him II God is Honoured with the Tongue when He is Praised and Blessed by it Our Lips must both Benedicere and Laudare Praise and Magnify God upon the Account of his Admirable Perfections and Bless and Thank Him for his Gracious Goodness and Benefits and Perform Both with a lively Sense of His Goodness and Excellency Imprest on our Hearts We are to speak forth the Glory of His Name by Declaring and Extolling His Infinite Greatness Goodness and Felicity And This God Accepts as One Way of Glorifying him In the End of our Psalm He that Offereth Praise Glorifieth me And so agreeably * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c.

By Making His Glory our Chief Aim in Al● that we Do 1 Cor. 10. 31. In All our Purposes and Enterprises we must so Behave our selves as Men may See That No Carnal End● or Interests are our Ends or Governing Principles But that God's Honour is More unto us than the Whole World and that His Interest in All Things and above All Things is Regarded by us and That the Pleasing of Him by Living to His Glory is the Principal Design and Main Scop● of All our Concerns and Affairs and the Management of them 2. We must Glorify God in our Lives by Conforming and Submitting Our Wills to God's Will both His Regulating Will of Precept and Disposing Will of Providence As 't is the Great Honour of a Prince that his Subjects Duly Observe his Laws and Live 〈◊〉 Good Subjection to their Sovereign so it is an Honouring of our God for Us His Creatures to Move after our Creator's Will and Regulate all our Concerns and Actions by His Royal Si juxta ●irtutis Normam conversamur Glorificatur Deus ab his qui nos co●spiciunt E●thymius ad cap. 6.

By Living Holy Thankfulness to God our Saviour and Benefactor And This is done 1. By Cheerful Yielding and Conscerating our Whole Man Body * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Chrysoft in Psal 114. and Soul to His Excellent Service
we should Greatly Dishonour and Provoke the Lord. Let us Practically Acknowledge This Great Truth That God's Hand is not Shortened Let an Holy Remembrance of his Wonderful Appearings for his People and Us in times pa●● Keep us in the Faith and Love and Fear of His Majesty and Beget a Constant Dependance on Him by Faith and Prayer And thus to De Glorifieth Him for that Herein we Acknowledge Him to be the Great Disposer of All things We Confess his General and Special Providence and Put Humble Confidence in the Same and O●● and Honour every Letter of His Name and Article of His Prerogative Ascribing All Kingdom Power and Glory to Him Believingly Acknowledging his Right of Government and His Power and Goodness to Give what we can Need and to Protect us in our Ways 10. By Living Chearfully and with Greater Peace and Delight in the Service of God than Others Do in any other Way or Course As it Dishonoureth a Master to have such as Serve him to Do their Work and Go about Dejectedly and with an Heavy Heart as if their Service were an Hard and Unprofitable One So it Honours Christ and Religion when we so Live by Faith on the Promises in the Midst of All Exercises and Tribulations as to Rejoice in Hope of the Glory of God and Comfort our Selves and one another with this That we shall for ever be with the Lord Rom. 5. 3 5. Under All the Troubles and Crosses and the Heavy Fights of Afflictions that Christians can Meet with in this World both from without and from within their Gracious Lord whom they Serve has Provided Plentiful Consolations and Sufficient Matter of Joyous Hope for them And therefore All Bearing the Christian Name should Fear Reproaching their High Calling or Bringing a Scandal on the Ways of God by Walking Uncomfortably and in a Dejected Manner as if they did not Act on Safe Grounds as if the Consolations of God were but Small and Christ were not to be Trusted though he hath said He will make All things Work together for their Good and Will Never Leave them nor Forsake them O Christians Live up to your Excellent Principles and Glorious Expectations by Giving the World to See that the Kingdom of your Lord in you Consisteth in Righteousness and Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost and that The Peace of God which Passeth All Understanding the Peace which you have in your Souls in God's Love to you which is of Inestimable Value and beyond all Notional Knowledge doth keep your Hearts and Minds through Jesus Christ doth as a Garrison Keep your Affections from Disturbance and your Judgments from Error notwithstanding All Pressing Trials through the Grace of Christ Phil. 4. 7. And that as the Sufferings of Christ Abound So your Consolation also Aboundeth by Christ 2 Cor. 1. 5. Shew others that in your Faithful Serving of God you Find and Receive That in and from Him of Solid Peace Supporting Hope and Joyous Trust that is not Attainable in any Worldly Way And now having Opened the Duty I Come to Enforce it by Shewing the Equity and Reasonableness of it And so I. We Ought Thus to Glorify God Because the Manifestation of his Glory was God's Ultimate and Highest End in his Making the World and All Creatures therein Prov. 16. 4. The Lord hath Made All things for himself i. e. for his Glory and accordingly Every Creature Animate or Inanimate with all the Wonderful Praesentem refert quaelibet Herba Deum Works of God in Heaven and Earth do in their Kind Yeild Glory to God Psal 19. 1. Psal 148. 3 4 7 8. c. They Represent His Glorious Power Wisdom Goodness and so Objectively Afford the Matter and Occasion of it but Man was in a Special Manner Designed and Framed to Gather up the Honour and Praises of God from the rest of the Creatures and Actually to Give them unto Him Our Rational Souls are Made and Fitted for the Considering Admiring and Extolling the Excellencies of God as Visible in all His Works The Great Name of God our Maker is so Deeply Engraven in our Nature even in all our Parts and Powers Our Noble Faculties of Understanding Will and Executive Power are so Suited and Adapted for God's Service that the Honouring of Him in the Serving of His Will doth Preserve and Perfect our Excellent Nature and Reasonable Souls in so much that All we Are and Have is Nothing Worth but for God and His Service As all the Parts and Motions of a Clock are good for nothing but to Tell the Hour of the Day Such therefore as Debase ☞ their Noble Faculties to Serve their Fleshly Lusts and Carnal Pleasures are most Absurd and Monstrous and Act a Villainous and Unnatural Part. II. This also was His End in Redeeming the World Out of an Apostate Revolted State God has by His Son Redeemed us to Himself that we might Serve him in Holiness and Righteousness all our Days and Give Him the Praise and Glory of his Grace Luke 1. 15. Eph. 1. 6 12 14. So You are Bought with a Price therefore Glorify God in your Body and in your Spirit which are God's 1 Cor. 6. 19 20. III. What else but this is God's Aim in the Sanctifying Operations of His Holy Spirit As All his Works must Praise the Lord So Especially His Saints are to Bless him Psal 145. 10. Tho it be Due unto him from all the Parts of the World yet Praise Waiteth for God only in Zion None but the Members of His H●● Church have it in Readiness for Him Psal 65. 1 We are Sanctified to become a Peculiar People zealous of Good Works and a Royal Priesthood to Offer and Shew forth the Praises of Him this hath Called us out of Darkness into Marvell●● Light Heb. 13. 15. 1 Pet. 2. 5 9. God Mak●● Persons Holy and Good that they may be Fruitful in Good Works and Live to His Glory in Doing Good in their Duties to Him themselves and others And the Meaning and Significati●● of Sanctification and Holiness is but only The Giving God his Due IV. This likewise is God's Chief End in all his Acts of Bounty and Kindness and Mercis● Dispensations of Providence toward us He Expecteth to be Exalted and Honoured by us for his Gracious Dealings with us in all our Succo●s and Deliverances Let the Lord be Magnified who hath Pleasure in the Prosperity of his Servants Psal 35. 27. So in our Text saith God I will Deliver Thee and thou shalt Glorify Me. According to the Chald. Paraphr it runs * Ut Honorem exhibeas mihi The thou mayst give Honour to Me. God's End in Deliverances and other Mercies is That we should thereupon and therewithal Give Him His D● Glory Psal 59. 16 17. I will Sing of thy Power yea I will Sing aloud of thy Mercy in the Morning for thou hast been my Defence and Refuge in the day of my Trouble Unto Thee O my
