Peace on Earth.
The same holy affection in the Angels, that moved them to wish God to have his due of glory from the creature, it moves them to wish peace to men likewise, to show this (by the way) that, There can be no true zeal of Gods glory,1 but with love to man-kind.

- 1They that glorify God, also love men.They that glorifie God, also love men.
They were not so ravished with the glory of God, as to forget poor man on earth, oh no; they have sweet, pure affections to man, a poorer creature then themselves. Therefore let them that are injurious and violent in their dispositions, and insolent in their carriage, never talk of glorifying God, when they despise and wrong men: there are some that overthrow all peace in the earth, for their own glory; but he that seeks Gods glory, will procure peace, what he can, for they go both together, as we see here, Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth.
