We glorify God when §21we exalt him in our souls above all creatures in the ⟨p. 11⟩world, when we give him the highest place in our love and in our joy, when all our affections are set upon him, as the chiefest good. This is seen also by opposition, when we will not offend God for any creature. When we can ask our affections, Whom have I in heaven but thee?
