Now then put all these Attributes of God together, and there you have his Glory, the infiniteness of his Glory. The shine and lustre of all the Attributes together is Gods Glory. I have then to deal with a glorious God, and let me labour to perform such services as many have a Spiritual glory upon them, that some image of the divine lustre that there is in God may be upon my services; and let me look for glorious things seeing I have to deal with such a glorious God.

You will say, Here is a great deal of do in serving of God, how much is here that we must do?
I appeal to any gracious heart, what canst thou want of any of these, or what wouldest thou want? Doest thou say, Here's a great deal? Can there be too much to make thee happy? These things are not only thy duty, but thy happiness; glory and excellency consists in them: If any one should bring you a great many Jewels and Pearls, would you say, Here's a great deal ado? Oh no, the more the merrier. So say I, this one meditation would take off the thoughts of a great deal, for in all these my happiness consists, and the more I have of these, the more shall I enjoy of God, the more happy shall I be both here and for ever.
