1. We may here observe the marvellous Wisdom of God, in the Work of Redemption. God hath made Man's Emptiness and Misery, his low, lost and ruined State into which he is sunk by the Fall, an Occasion of the greater Advancement of his own Glory, as in other Ways so particularly in this, that there is now a much more universal and apparent Dependence of Man on God. Though God be pleased to lift Man out of that dismal Abyss of Sin and Woe into which he was fallen, and exceedingly to exalt him in Excellency and Honour, and to an high Pitch of Glory and Blessedness, yet the Creature hath nothing in any Respect to glory of; all the Glory evidently belongs to God, all is in a mere, and most absolute and divine Dependence on the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
