We must not only be the instances, but the proclaimers of this Grace, we are not only to be passive, but active in Glorifying God; and he hereby layeth on us the most potent obligation hereto. We can never recompense him for his kindness, and if we give him not the praise of it, we do nothing at all; all the acclamations in the New Temple are to be Grace, Grace; Heavens Hallelujah's are to be celebrated with the acknowledgements ⟨p. 230⟩of this free Grace: and how much have pardoned men counted themselves obliged to give him the glory of it here? Psal. 103. begin. Isa. 12.1.
