His by Creation and redemption, therefore every thing we have ⟨p. 73⟩and do, ought to have a respect to his glory & service. There is • variety of Creatures in the World, of different kinds and different excellencies: In the whole and every kind there is somewhat of the glory of God and Christ set forth.

Shall poor worms make bold with his Laws, slight his doctrine, despise his benefits ? Heb. 2.2, 3. If the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward, how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation.
