And it also shineth forth in the Actions of his life, overcoming the world, and the Devil, and perfectly fulfilling the Law of God: So that the Image of his Father, did shine forth in his Conversation. 3. And also in his Death and Sufferings was the Father glorified, as I showed before. 4. And also in the most Wise and Holy frame of those Laws, by which the grace of the Mediator is conveyed, and the Church governed. 5. And by the Image of God, by the impress of those Laws on the Souls of his Saints, and by the holiness of their lives, the Glory of God is also demonstrated. 6. As also by the Justifying sentence of the Judge, and the glorious Reward bestowed on the Faithful. 7. And by the Condemning sentence ⟨p. 222⟩and execution on the ungodly, in whom Vindictive Justice will be honoured. 8. And in the perfection of the Individual Saints, and their perfect Love and Praise. 9. And in the Saints as embodied in the Heavenly Jerusalem, the Glory of which will be the Glory of God. 10. And principally in the Blessed Person and Work of the Redeemer. In all these will Gods Glory shine forth for ever.
