To Magnifie GOD.
To Magnifie GOD, is to acknowledge his Supreme glory and Excellency, and to aſcribe to him theſe ⟨infinite⟩ Perfections, which ſhine forth to us in his Word and Works; and to have a high Eſteem of ⟨him⟩, and to conſider him as infinitely Exalted above ⟨all⟩ the moſt perfect Beeings, and by Word and Deed ⟨to⟩ expreſs this our Senſe of him, that others may have due Eſteem and Regard for him,
To ſet GOD before us.
Moſt of Men never think on GOD.; GOD is not in all their Thoughts, He is not at any time before their Eyes: But ſuch as are Pious have ſuch a Senſe of GOD ſunk in their Minds, and find the remembrance of GOD ſo needful for the Comfort, Support, and conduct of their Lives, that they endeavour at all times, in all places, in all the different Conditions of their Lives, and in all their Affairs, and conſider him as preſent.
To Draw near to GOD.
A conſtant Courſe of humble Obedience to the Laws of GOD, diſpoſes us for approaching to him, which we then do; when turning off our Souls from all Inferior things, we apply the Powers thereof unto GOD.
