A Body of Practical Divinity

4. Subjection: When we dedicate ourselves to God, and stand ready pressed for his Service. Thus the Angels in Heaven glorify him; they wait on his Throne, and are ready to take a Commission from him, therefore they are resembled by the Cherubims with their Wings displayed to show how swift the Angels are in their Obedience. This is to glorify God when we are devoted to his Service, our Head studies for God, our Tongue pleads for him, our Hands relieve his Members: The wise Men that came to Christ, did not only bow the Knee to him, but presented him with Gold and Myrrh, Mat. 2.11. so we must not only bow the Knee, give God Worship, but bring Presents, Golden Obedience. This is to glorify God when we stick at no Service, we will fight under the Banner of his Gospel against Regiments, and we say to him as David to King Saul, 1 Sam. 17.32. Thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. Thus you see wherein the Glorifying of God doth consist, in Appreciation, Adoration, Affection, Subjection.
