But the Glorious God is infinitely satisfied, in the Manifestations, the Operations, and the Exhibitions of His Glory. The First Being is admirably, Energetic. God from all Eternity, Beholding of Himself, there was Begotten an Image of Himself. This is the Son of God, the Brightness of His Glory, the Express Image of His Person. Infinite is the Satisfaction of God, from all Eternity, in beholding of His Glory, as it is Expressed in His Only Begotten Son; whose Triumph it is, I was set up from Everlasting, I was brought forth before the Mountains were settled; Then was I daily His Delight! And why did God, so satisfied from all ETERNITY, proceed unto the Works of Creation, and Providence, even unto all the Works of Time? This is, that He may take the satisfaction of Beholding His own Glory, ⟨p. 39⟩as it is Expressed in all His Works. If the Works of God had no other Spectator, but the God who has wrought them all; This, This were enough; This were infinitely more, than for all the Works to take Notice of themselves, or of one another.
