Oh! you whom God hath exalted, let it be your care 1to exalt this God; and especially the Saints of the Lord, know God hath exalted you on high, and expects that you should lift up his Name; he hath lifted up you out of the depth of misery, from the nethermost Hell, he hath joined you to his Son, he hath made you one with his Son, He hath loved you with the same love wherewith he loveth his Son, he hath made you Heirs, Co-heirs with his own Son, he hath given his Angels to be ministering Spirits to you, he hath made it his great design to honour himself in your eternal good, the greatest work that God hath to do in the world it is the honouring himself in your Glory; he hath prepared a Crown of glory for you; Oh then, do you join together to exalt the Name of this God who hath lifted up you who were such poor vile worms, let the high praises of this God be in your hearts and mouths for ever; in Psal. 108. 4. Thy 2mercy is great above the Heavens, and thy truth reacheth unto the Clouds; mark what follows in the 5. verse, Be thou exalted, O God, above the Heavens, and thy Glory above all the Earth: Oh Lord, we see thy mercy is exalted above the Heavens, and thy truth to the Clouds: then Lord be thou exalted above the Heavens, that is in our hearts, and in our lives; Oh! that God may be exalted, in an answerable way above the Heavens in what we do for Him, as He hath been exalted above the Heavens in what he hath done for us; let's all exalt Gods Name: he will be exalted in spite of your hearts.
