Reason. 1.
First, that that makes them so earnest, it is the love they have to God: for they know that this is the great glory of God; this that shines in the Ministry of Reconciliation in that that they go to declare to the world, & except that the Lord have his glory in that, (the truth is) he hath his glory in nothing in Comparison, and therefore that they might testify their love to God; that the God whom their Souls love, may have his glory, in that which is indeed his glory, and his Master-piece of all his works. O! this it is that makes them earnest; they think if the lord hath not his glory here, where shall he have his glory? O! it is infinite pity that so great a work (wherein so much of the glory of God doth appear) that the Lord should have no glory in that work.
