And then Fifthly; The true Worship of God is an elevating 1thing. Then are they called to the most high when they are called to the true Worship of God, for it raises the soul to the most high. Mens inventions are low things, are base and unworthy things, Oh consider whether thou findest this in the Worship of God? doest thou find thy soul raised up to the most high in his Worship? thou doest never worship God aright, except thou findest in some measure thy soul raised up to the most high in his Worship; let no man look upon the Worship of God as a low mean thing; know, when thou art to come to worship God, thou hast now to deal with the high God, whom Angels worship and adore; 'tis that God who is far above all Creatures in Heaven and Earth: thus thou art to look upon the Worship of God. Oh! how far are most men from this when they are worshipping of God! very few there are that lift up their hearts to the most high; even in the duties of Worship. And so it follows in the words, None at all would exalt him.
