[ LVII] The glory of God is to be the aime of all our actions.
A Friend gives me a Ring,* 1.1 I'le wear it for his sake; a Book, I'le use it for his
sake; a Iewell, I'le keep it for his sake; that is, so, as may best expresse my
love,* 1.2 and report his goodnesse. And were we truely thankfull to our God, we
would then use all his tokens for his sake, do all things to his glory; we would eat
our meat to Him, wear our cloaths to Him, spend our strength for Him, live, to
Him, sleep to Him, die for Him, &c. thus we should do: But alas, we use his bles∣sings,* 1.3
as Iehu did Iehoram's messengers,* 1.4David, Goliah's sword, we turn them a∣gainst
their Master, and fight against Heaven with that health, wir, wealth,
friends, means, and mercies, that we have from thence received.
