A Divine Cordial

10. If God makes all things to turn to our good,¹ how equal is it that we should make all things tend to his glory? 1 Cor. 10.31. Do all to the glory of God. The Angels glorify God, they sing divine Anthems of praise; how then ought man to glorify him, for whom God hath done more, than for the Angels! He hath dignified us above them in uniting our nature with the God-head. Christ hath dyed for us, and not the Angels: The Lord hath given us, not only out of the common stock of his bounty, but he hath enriched us with Covenant-blessings, he hath bestowed upon us his Spirit; he studies our welfare, he makes every thing work for our good; Free-grace hath laid a plot for our Salvation. If God seeks our good, shall not we seek his glory?

Quest. How can we be said properly to glorify God, he is infinite in his perfections, and can receive no augmentation from us?
