Was it a diminution to his dignity, to join others with 1him in the Government of the State? And is it not a diminution of the dignity and glory of Christ, to join your actions and your endeavours with his blood, in the business of your redemption? In Isa. 63. 3. I have trodden the Winepress alone, and of the people there was none with me. And in Isa. 44. Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things, that stretcheth forth the heavens alone, that spreadeth abroad the earth by my self. 'Tis a sad reproach to Christ, to join any thing with him in the great business of your salvation, therefore abhor it more then hell it self; let Christ be all in all.
