2. As Grace is exalted, and made proceed out of the Throne to its own praises, to its own glory; so is it also thus exalted and made flow to us like a River, that we should be to the praise of the glory of him that hath exalted it. We that receive it, and submit unto the Throne whence it proceeds, have thereby obtained an Inheritance, being predestinated according 1to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will, that we should be to the praise ⟨p. 49⟩of his glory. So that this Throne is a Throne of Glory. A glorious high Throne from the beginning is the place of our Sanctuary; now what follows from this, but that they that accept of this Grace, give glory to God, to his Grace, and to the word of his Grace; such I say, glorify God for his mercy: They glorify God by 2their professed subjection to the Gospel of Christ, which is the Gospel, or good tidings of the Grace of God. They with Abraham believe and give glory to God, and with the Gentiles they glorify the word of the Lord.
