(2) As that wherein God hath expressly designed to Glorify himself unto Eternity. This is the end of all the free Acts, and Purposes of the Will of God, neither can they have any other, though all other things may be subordinate thereunto. Now no Property of the Divine Nature is so conspicuous in the disposal of things unto their proper end, as that of Wisdom, whose peculiar work and effect it is. Wherefore the great end which God will ultimately effect, being his own Glory in Christ, and the Salvation of the Elect by him, the Wisdom whereby it was contrived must needs be Eminent and Glorious. So the Apostle tells us, Then is the End when Christ shall have delivered up the Kingdom unto God, even the Father, and he also in his humane Nature subjects himself unto him, that God may be all in all, 1 Cor. 15. 24, 28. that is, when the Lord Christ hath finished the whole work of his Mediation, and brought all his Elect unto the enjoyment of God, then shall God be all in all; or therein, or thereby he will be for ever exalted and glorified; when it shall be manifest how all this great work came forth from him, and is issued in him, Jude 25. 1 Tim. 1. 17.
