speak_v of_o a_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o glorious_a nature_n and_o attribute_n in_o god_n but_o of_o man_n study_n to_o get_v glory_n unto_o god_n here_o among_o man_n only_o this_o conclusion_n i_o can_v pass_v that_o god_n look_v to_o receive_v glory_n from_o every_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v make_v doct._n thus_o the_o prophet_n isa_n 43.7_o every_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v call_v by_o name_n for_o i_o create_v they_o for_o my_o glory_n and_o he_o have_v choose_v his_o elect_a to_o the_o praise_n of_o his_o glory_n ephes_n 1.12_o the_o heaven_n must_v declare_v his_o glory_n psal_n 19.1_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n must_v set_v out_o his_o glory_n rom._n 1.20_o all_o the_o creature_n must_v set_v forth_o his_o glory_n because_o he_o make_v they_o gen._n 1._o preserve_v their_o be_v act._n 17.28_o feed_v they_o psal_n 147.9_o but_o man_n especial_o be_v bind_v to_o this_o duty_n of_o glorify_v god_n because_o he_o not_o only_o make_v he_o preserve_v seed_n he_o but_o be_v dead_a quicken_v he_o be_v lose_v seek_v he_o be_v satan_n prisoner_n ransom_v he_o not_o with_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o and_o goat_n but_o of_o christ_n and_o what_o use_n make_v the_o apostle_n therefore_o glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o in_o your_o soul_n 1_o cor._n 6.20_o i_o come_v to_o a_o second_o viz._n man_n shall_v never_o do_v any_o thing_n doct._n whereby_o he_o may_v not_o gain_v some_o glory_n unto_o god_n thus_o the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 10.31_o among_o many_o he_o be_v principal_o to_o aim_v at_o god_n glory_n in_o these_o three_o 1._o his_o action_n 2._o his_o speech_n 3._o his_o calling_n his_o action_n be_v of_o three_o kind_n natural_a civil_a religious_a the_o natural_a be_v such_o as_o be_v common_a to_o man_n with_o beast_n as_o eat_v drink_v sleep_a recreation_n yet_o in_o man_n all_o these_o must_v be_v moderate_v by_o reason_n that_o we_o err_v not_o in_o excess_n or_o defect_n or_o manner_n of_o use_v they_o the_o apostle_n have_v mention_v two_o whereof_o we_o shall_v be_v most_o careful_a that_o we_o dishonour_v not_o god_n to_o wit_n eat_v and_o drink_v here_o i_o must_v quarrel_v with_o two_o sort_n of_o people_n who_o dishonour_n god_n so_o much_o in_o these_o two_o first_o they_o dishonour_v he_o in_o eat_v so_o do_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n when_o they_o require_v meat_n for_o their_o lust_n psal_n 78.19_o and_o therefore_o while_o the_o flesh_n be_v yet_o between_o their_o tooth_n before_o it_o be_v chew_v god_n wrath_n be_v kindle_v against_o they_o as_o numb_a 11.33_o second_o they_o dishonour_v he_o in_o drink_v as_o those_o isa_n 5.11_o woe_n unto_o they_o that_o rise_v up_o early_o in_o the_o morning_n that_o they_o may_v follow_v strong_a drink_n that_o continue_v until_o night_n till_o the_o wine_n inflame_v they_o i_o come_v to_o the_o three_o which_o be_v our_o call_n we_o must_v make_v choice_n of_o such_o calling_n whereby_o we_o may_v gain_v glory_n unto_o god_n doct._n for_o a_o call_n be_v a_o particular_a kind_n of_o life_n impose_v upon_o man_n by_o god_n for_o the_o common_a good_a and_o in_o every_o call_n two_o thing_n must_v be_v consider_v the_o author_n and_o the_o end_n the_o author_n of_o every_o honest_a and_o lawful_a call_n be_v god_n so_o the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 7.17_o as_o god_n have_v call_v every_o man_n so_o let_v he_o walk_v the_o end_n of_o every_o
