2. This is that Glory which God affects, and therefore the Saints will give it him. Isa. 6. 3. The Holy Angels, what do they cry out when they honour God? They do not acknowledge his Power and Dominion over all Creatures as Lord of all; but they give him his peculiar Glory, Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of Hosts, the whole Earth is full of his Glory. So David, Psal. 103. 1. Bless the Lord, O my Soul, yea, all that is within me bless his Holy Name. That's the Notion upon which he pitcheth, he would praise God with such praise as is welcome and acceptable to him.

3. This is that Attribute which is most eclipsed, and most blotted out in the Hearts of the Sons of Men, because of God's Patience, because he doth not take Vengeance of all the Sins of Men: Thou thoughtest I was altogether such a one as thy self, Psal. 50. 21. Certainly if Men did not blot and stain God in their Thoughts, if they did not fancy an unreasonable Indulgence, such as is not comely and proper to his Majesty, they could not go on in Sin, and think God could be so pure; therefore he will be so glorified, that he may be sanctified.
