saith God, hear the Word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his Word, your brethren that hated you, and cast you out for my name sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified, so you shall find those that are opposers, and persecutors, and haters of sincerity, will sing Gloria Patri, God be glorified; but what good will this do them, if they have diabolical, satanical dispositions, if they be like the Devil, in opposing the truth, and hating that that is good? The Devils in the Gospel, could glorify God for their own ends, We know that thou art the Son of God; so Devils incarnate can come to Church, and receive the ⟨p. 237⟩Sacraments, and seem to praise God, oh but there must be a change; for to glorify God, is a work of the whole man, especially of the Spirit, All that is within me praise his holy name: It came from the heart root of a sanctified judgement, out of grounds, why we do it. The wish of the Angels here, Glory to God on high, it came from a good ground, because they knew, God is to be glorified in Christ: for judicious phrases are founded upon truths, so there must be a sanctified judgement to be the ground of it, and the affections must be in tune, answerable to those truths, then we are sit to glorify God; and all this is by the power of the Gospel, transforming us.
