Secondly, This wantonness and abuse of our Liberty, 1and licentiousness, it darkens the glory of this great work of God in our deliverance; the Lord hath been pleased to magnify his Name in the deliverance of these Kingdoms from the yoke; Now what should be the care of all the people of God, but to seek to magnify the great work of God, to make it beautiful and glorious before the eyes of all? But now by this wantonness and licentiousness men do darken the Glory of God, they take off the lustre and beauty of it, Psal. 149. 4. the Lord there promises, to beautify the meek with salvation, He 2will beautify them with salvation: now the Lord hath wrought so towards us as to beautify us with salvation, and indeed there is a great beauty upon the work of salvation that he hath wrought; but this doth (I say) darken the Glory of God, and it takes away the beauty of the work of God in our salvation; What, hath God done all this for us, that men might turn wanton and run w•ld into monstrous opinions, and blasphemies? Oh! woe to thee that thou shouldest live in such a generation as this is, how unfit art thou to live in such a time as this is to darken the glory of such a glorious work as God hath wrought for us here in England!
