Especially let us withal, 3. Consider besides, how all his Actings and Works whereby to glorify himself for ever, shall be reduced and contracted to these two. He gives over all other of Providence, and Spiritual Dispensations by Ordinances, and sets down and betakes himself to these two alone. God hath nothing else to do in the other World. And he hath no other revenue of manifested Glory that remains extant; he lives and reigns eternally in or upon these two: And yet this is then, when he is resolved, to the utmost to be glorious. And yet all is but what comes out of these two Works, the Salvation of the Elect, and Destruction of the Wicked.

Again, 4. Consider these two are uniform Works, and unvarying; and without shadow of turning: In this World he makes a variety and interchange of Providences; which are exercised in such Works as he sometimes takes up, and then lays down again, at Pleasure; he sets one thing against another as Solomon speaks. Every Day and Age produceth a Variety and Alteration. And this is, because his Glory ⟨p. 151⟩that appeareth but imperfectly in some one (as in this and that particular) may have an additional perfection in some other; that so, all that Variety, may like small pieces in Tapestry, make that piece of Work complete. And yet we see how in this Mixture, and often, but in some one single Work or Piece, wrought and done but once, how much of God's Glory appears to the wonderment of Men and Angels. Whereas now this last work of punishing Wicked Men (as likewise that other of Salvation) are but as one continued Dispensation of one Woof, and uniform for ever, without Change, Variety or Interruption. The whole stream of God's Activity contracts it self unto, and runs in these two Channels and no more, in omne volubilis aevum: And how strong must you needs suppose these two Streams, each of them to be? when as the Manifestation of the Deity, doth now run so strongly in a thousand Rivulets. This in General, from the Manifestation of his Glory.
