The belief of God's infinity, instead of discouraging, strongly encourageth us to the diligent contemplation of Him,—as much important and delightful truth concerning him, may be known, though he can never be fully and comprehensively known by us

God in our nature, and doing all for us, and being all to us, free grace reigning through His imputed righteousness, God's free grant of Christ and His salvation, and of Himself in Christ, and the believing appropriation founded on that grant, and the comfort and holiness of heart and life flowing from that, have been my most delightful themes.

The principal exercises of religion, or virtue, respecting God, which the law of nature requires, are, 1. To contemplate him as the reason and pattern of our conduct. 2. To adore him with our soul and body as one possessed of infinite perfection. 3. To love him as one infinitely amiable and benevolent. 4. To observe and acknowledge his manifold and diversified providences, and act answerably to them. 5. To acquiesce in the whole of his will as wise and good. 6. To consider and trust in his power, wisdom, and goodness. 7. To be chiefly careful to please him, and to imitate him in his moral excellencies, who is infinitely perfect in himself, and on whose favour and the enjoyment of him, our true happiness wholly depends. 8. Cordially to listen to, believe, receive, and obey every further declaration of his will, which he is pleased to make to us.

A magistrate may be very good and benevolent, though he do not adopt all his subjects to be his children or heirs.
