Therefore we should return the glory of all the good we have to God the Father, and to Christ:1 and as it is in Revel. 5. Worthy is the Lamb, because he hath redeemed us. When we think of the good we have by Christ, worthy is the Lamb, because he shed his blood for us. The Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world, he is worthy of all praise and honour; we should honour the Father, and honour the Son, and the holy Spirit that applies the good we have by Christ to us. When we glorify God, let us glorify Christ too, Who together with the Father is to be glorified, because it was his grace to give him self, he made himself poor for us. We cannot honour the Father more then by honouring the Son: for God the Father will be seen in his S•nne, as the Apostle saith, In Christ we behold the ⟨p. 47⟩glory of God; therefore what he saith of Christ, here tends to the glory of the Father.
