1 WE must especially respect two things: first that the Lords glory remain to him untouched & undiminished:1 & that our consciences have §1 2a calm tranquility before his judgement seat:§1 that shall be observed, if he alone be known to be just, & to justify him which is of the faith of Jesus Christ. ⟨p. 198⟩Because so long as man hath any thing to say for §2himself, so long there is somewhat taken from the glory of God. Let the knowledge of our own iniquity be added:2 whereby being beaten down we may fly unto Christ in whom we may rejoice and triumph*.
