1. Faith is such a Grace as sets us above others, our Persons above others. A Grace which makes us Kings, and Priests unto God: which raises us, and sets us out of the crowd. They are noble, whom God doth in-noble: honourable, whom God doth honour. God is the King of Kings, the Fountain of all Honour, who can exalt whom he pleaseth, and throw down whom he pleaseth: who can in-noble whom he pleaseth, and abase whom he will. And this honour have all his Saints.
