[ 1411] God to have all the glory.
JUstinian is said to have made a Law,* 1.1 that no Master-workman should put up his name within the body of that building which he made out of another Mans cost; And our own History tells us that when William of Wickham then Chaplain to Edward the third, was by him made overseer of the work for the repair of Windsor Castle, that those three words, which he caused to be inscribed upon the great Tower,* 1.2 This made Wickham, had not he con∣strued them another way (as that no he made the work, but the work made him) had quite lost him the Kings favour: Thus it is that God is jealous of his ho∣nour, he cannot endure that the Creature should have any share primarily there∣in, but as derived and participated onely; let every Man then, especially, such whose greatnesse makes them too apt to take too much unto them selves,* 1.3 ascribe all unto God, give all the glory to God, and when they begin to give unto God, never give over giving,* 1.4 till they have given all that they are, all that is his due, all honour and glory, praise, power and dominion for ever∣more.
