Chap. 7. pag. 105.
The duties of understanding Creatures, to the Maker of all things. Admiration of his glorious Perfections visible, in them. This is more particularly the duty of Man, the World being made eminently for him. The Causes why the Creator is not honoured in his Works, are Mens ignorance and inobservance. Things new rather affect us, ⟨image 162⟩than great. An humble fear is a necessary respect from the Creature, to the Divine Majesty and Power. Love and Obedience in the highest degrees are due from men to God, in the quality of Creator. Trust and Reliance on God is our duty and privilege.
