Wherefore here is set before us, that in estimable benefit we receive by Christ, which coming last, crowneth the rest, and in the lauding oand magnifying whereof, all Eternity shall be spent, the full and final Redemption of our souls and bodies, unto the glorious Inheritance purchased for the sons of God.
Wherefore here is set before vs, that in estimable benefit we receiue by Christ, which comming last, crowneth the rest, and in the lauding oand magnifying whereof, all Eternitie shall bee spent, the full and finall Redemption of our soules and bodies, vnto the glorious Inheritance purchased for the sonnes of God.
Whereupon, after the Petitions ended, followeth Praise and Thanksgiving unto God, the Fountain of all good, in these words: For thine is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever: that is to say, all absolute and perfect Blessedness, both for thy might ⟨p. 476⟩and Sovereignty of commanding all things, being all thy creatures, and the work of thy hands: and for the power of effecting whatsoever thou wilt and doest command: and lastly, in regard of the infinite Graces that shine so gloriously in thy person, and which thou doest so graciously extend to us: being thy self eternal, and therefore exercising an eternal power and dominion in the World; not only confounding those whom thou hast appointed to destruction to the praise of thy glorious Justice: but (which is principally here considered) creating anew an eternal people to thy self, to the praise of thy glorious Grace.
