O Glorious God, I am not able to bear the Thoughts of Living, or of Being, upon any lower Design than This; That the Glorious God may have the Praises of His Glory from me. What is my Errand into the world, but that I may Glorify the God, who made me, and all the world! I was not Born only to Eat, and Drink, and Play, & Sleep, and by some Labour, to purchase Conveniences for all of these No; Nothing will please me, O my God, but This; That thy Glory may have Praises from me; and that I may Glorify God, and my Lord Jesus Christ, in Conforming to the Rules and Hopes of His Holy Religion Lord, I would not only Speak any Praises, but I would also Live thy Praises. To bear Testimonies unto thy Glory, shall be the very Business of my Life. I will make it my main Business, to Testify any Believe, I have ⟨p. 42⟩That God is a Good Portion; and, That nothing is too hard for the Lord; And, That the Lord is of purer Eyes than to look upon Iniquity; And, That the Lord is Good unto the Soul that seeks Him; And, That my Lord Jesus Christ is Precious, and Lovely, and Worthy of all my Services. I will abhor all Sin, because 'tis not for the Praise of the Glorious God. I Consecrate, all my Powers, all my Members, all my Interest: unto thee, O my God! Oh! That thou mayest have Glory from them all. Oh! Spirit of Grace, Now do thou take Possession of me, Fill me, Act me, Use me, and Fetch out of me, the Praises of the Glory of my God throughout Eternal Ages.
