1. For that God is to bee respected absolutely for himselfe, man for Gods sake: as first, such the order of the two Tables, the duty to God for him∣selfe, to men for his sake. Secondly, so God reve∣renced simply for his owne, Rulers for his sake. Thirdly, God if he command as in his owne po∣wer, is obeyed for his owne, men in his right, and for his sake; whence, they that respect men, and above God, may bee great persons, ashamed and confounded.
2. Gods creation and workes, were and are principally for his glory, and so ought our works, intentions, and prayers to be.
3. The finall dissolution and end of all, and judgement, is for his glory, and so the end of all our actions, and of our duty, should bee for his glory.
4. Gods Saints, servants, holy men, and An∣gels, doe all aime at his glory principally, and so ought wee, if ever we hope to bee, of that holy company.
5. The very vessels of wrath, and evill Angels, are and shall bee to his glory, the glory of his ju∣stice; and so shall we, if we neglect it here.
So this the scope that God prefixeth to his own actions and ours; and all good creatures doe it willingly, and all others shall doe it, though un∣willingly, for God will have it done; so deare unto him is his glory.
