in_o you_o of_o a_o truth_n to_o this_o purpose_n say_v the_o apostle_n phil._n i_o 10._o approve_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v excellent_a that_o you_o may_v be_v sincere_a and_o without_o offence_n till_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n be_v fill_v with_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n which_o be_v by_o christ_n jesus_n unto_o the_o glory_n and_o praise_n of_o god_n and_o so_o true_a and_o exact_a be_v this_o analogy_n between_o the_o physical_a and_o moral_a glory_n of_o god_n that_o every_o righteous_a person_n who_o live_v in_o obedience_n and_o subjection_n to_o his_o law_n and_o walk_v as_o a_o child_n of_o light_n do_v as_o effectual_o declare_v and_o set_v forth_o god_n and_o his_o special_a presence_n in_o himself_o unto_o the_o world_n as_o if_o the_o cloud_n of_o glory_n which_o fill_v the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n constant_o surround_v his_o temple_n unto_o he_o face_n to_o face_n as_o he_o do_v unto_o moses_n as_o a_o man_n speak_v unto_o his_o friend_n what_o the_o psalmist_n say_v of_o the_o heaven_n may_v be_v true_o say_v of_o divine_a and_o heavenly_a man_n they_o declare_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n they_o set_v forth_o his_o power_n and_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n and_o all_o his_o other_o adorable_a perfection_n they_o visible_o bear_v his_o image_n in_o be_v conform_v unto_o the_o likeness_n of_o his_o son_n their_o holy_a life_n be_v a_o comment_n upon_o his_o bless_a nature_n they_o preach_v he_o continual_o by_o their_o example_n in_o a_o word_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o the_o star_n they_o be_v the_o visible_a epistle_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o world_n write_v not_o with_o ink_n but_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o live_a god_n they_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n burn_v and_o shine_a light_n and_o so_o shine_v before_o man_n that_o they_o may_v see_v their_o good_a work_n and_o be_v bring_v in_o like_a manner_n by_o the_o benefit_n of_o their_o example_n to_o glorify_v their_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n have_v now_o explain_v the_o true_a and_o genuine_a notion_n of_o god_n glory_n which_o the_o christian_a philosophy_n propose_v for_o the_o supreme_a end_n of_o human_a action_n i_o proceed_v in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o make_v a_o general_a division_n of_o human_a action_n into_o their_o several_a kind_n that_o i_o may_v the_o better_a show_n under_o each_o kind_n how_o we_o may_v make_v god_n and_o the_o sense_n we_o have_v of_o his_o infinite_a majesty_n and_o of_o our_o duty_n to_o he_o appear_v in_o all_o our_o action_n or_o how_o we_o may_v direct_v all_o our_o

there_o be_v a_o god_n infinite_o wise_a and_o just_o and_o powerful_a that_o will_v judge_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n nay_o in_o observe_v these_o duty_n which_o attend_v we_o in_o

the_o temple_n and_o in_o divine_a worship_n and_o therefore_o lay_v it_o aside_o i_o shall_v prefer_v the_o scriptural_a division_n of_o human_a action_n as_o the_o most_o perfect_a and_o comprehensive_a with_o respect_n to_o their_o object_n god_n our_o neighbour_n and_o ourselves_o this_o distinction_n be_v found_v on_o tit._n two_o 12._o where_o the_o apostle_n tell_v that_o the_o

great_a god_n and_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o branch_n of_o this_o distinction_n which_o concern_v those_o action_n of_o we_o which_o have_v god_n for_o their_o object_n and_o be_v immediate_o conversant_a about_o he_o as_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o he_o from_o he_o or_o to_o he_o be_v it_o in_o prayer_n praise_n or_o vow_n or_o in_o swear_v by_o his_o holy_a name_n in_o all_o these_o case_n we_o immediate_o direct_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n and_o when_o we_o so_o behave_v ourselves_o in_o they_o as_o to_o let_v other_o see_v the_o mighty_a sense_n we_o have_v of_o his_o infinite_a majesty_n and_o how_o much_o we_o love_v fear_v admire_v and_o adore_v he_o then_o and_o only_o than_o he_o appear_v in_o those_o action_n which_o indeed_o tend_v not_o otherwise_o to_o his_o glory_n then_o as_o they_o be_v declarative_a of_o his_o existence_n and_o absolute_a perfection_n as_o of_o his_o sovereignty_n providence_n power_n truth_n wisdom_n

religious_a behaviour_n will_v make_v very_o sensible_a impression_n upon_o they_o and_o contribute_v more_o or_o less_o like_o the_o sight_n of_o his_o glory_n to_o strike_v into_o they_o the_o
