The Glory of God.
We are never in such a condition as we ought to ⟨p. 270⟩be,1 except grace be glory to us, and when is grace glory to a sinner? Oh when he feels the weight and burden of his sin, and languishing desires. Oh that I might have a drop of mercy, then grace is glory, not only in Gods esteem, but in the eye of the sinner, indeed we are never soundly humbled, till grace in our esteem be glory, that is, till it appear excellent and victorious, I beseech you remember it, we may have use of it, in the time of desertion.
