3. God and Christ laid this Plot from all Eternity, that all he would do, should be to the praise of the glory of his Grace: So must we purpose this as the end of all our actions, whether we eat, or drink, or whatsoever we do, we must do all to the glory of God. 1But especially if from God we receive any spiritual good, then give all again to the glory of his grace.2 Blessed be the Name of God for ever and ever (said Daniel) for Wisdom and might are his; — and I thank thee, and praise thee O God of my Fathers, who hast given me Wisdom and Might: an excellent spirit of Wisdom and Might wrought in Daniel, and he acknowledges all to the Giver: wisdom and might are his. Christians! if you feel grace in your hearts, I beseech you acknowledge it to Christ: He does all, he subdues Lusts, heals Wounds, stays inward Issues, sets broken Bones, and makes them to rejoice; and therefore let him him the glory of all; do you acknowledge grace in it's latitude to the God of all grace.

Christians! if you feel grace in your hearts, I beseech you acknowledge it to Christ: He does all, he subdues Lusts, heals VVounds, staies inward Issues, sets broken Bones, and makes them to rejoyce; and therefore let him him the glory of all; do you acknowledge grace in it's latitude to the God of all grace.
