A treatise of delighting in God from Psal. xxxvij. 4. Delight thy self also…

I say (as before) there is pleasure in the very doing this it self, as often as it is sincerely done; And it adds hereto, if it be more distinctly ⟨p. 69⟩considered, It is no mean or any way undeserving person to whom this homage is paid, and obligation taken on unto future obedience; He is the brightness of the Fathers glory, the express Image of his person, the Heir of all things, and who sustains all things by the word of his power: It is he whose name is Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of peace: 'Tis he to whom all power is given both in heaven and earth, and (more especially) power over all flesh, that he might give eternal life to as many as were given him; 'Tis he who spoiled Principalities and Powers, and made an open show of them; He whom because when he was in the form of God, and thought it no robbery to be equal with God, he humbled himself, made himself of no reputation, took on him the form of a servant, became obedient to death, the Father hath therefore highly exalted, and given him a Name above every name, that in his Name, every knee should bow; And of whom, when he brought him (his first-born) into the world, he said, Let all the Angels of God worship him.
