Chapter 11 of 21

to do gloriously?

to do gloriously?

in the latter part of ver. 6, "But live according to God," oh what is

that but to live gloriously, to do gloriously?

[5.] Then, lastly, Consider this to move you to do gloriously for

God: if you do not gloriously for God, none in the world can do

gloriously for God; if you do not, none in the world will. Consider

this, you who are believers. Of all people in the world, you have the

greatest cause to do gloriously for God; for God has done more for

you than for all the world besides. You have not only the greatest

cause to do gloriously for God—but you have the choicest principles

to enable you to do gloriously for God—as knowledge, and wisdom,

and power, and faith, and zeal. And as you have the choicest

principles, so you have the sweetest experience to engage you to do

gloriously for God. How has God knocked at your doors when he has

passed by the doors of thousands! How has free grace greeted you,

when wrath has broken forth upon thousands of others! How has

God dandled you on his knee, when he has trampled others under his

feet! What is this but to engage you to do gloriously for God? If you

do not, none in the world will do gloriously. And what a sad thing it

is that God should make a world, and not a soul in the world to do

gloriously for God, that has made such a glorious world! So much by

way of motive to move you to do gloriously.

2. The second thing I am to speak of is, WHEN a man may be said

to do gloriously?
