Again, the glory he gives is Unmoveable glory; all worldly glory is tottering and shaking. Princes Crowns hang now but upon one side of their heads. The Lord of Hosts hath 1purposed it, to stain (or pollute) the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth. The Lord 2hath purposed it, or as 'tis in the Hebrew, The Lord hath consulted it; And the counsel of the Lord shall stand. It is agreed upon in heaven, that the pride of all glory shall be stained, and polluted, or thrown down as some polluted filthy thing, that is trampled upon, and trodden under foot. Oh! but this glory that Christ gives, is unmoveable glory, 3'tis permanent glory, 'tis glory that cannot be changed, stained, nor polluted.
