As the sun, which would shine in its own brightness and glory though all the world were blind or did willfully shut their eyes against it, so God will ever be most glorious, let men be ever so obstinate or rebellious. Yea, God will have glory by reprobates, though it be nothing to their ease; and though He be not glorified of them, yet He will glorify Himself in them.

Our inventions, though never so splendid in our own eyes, are unto Him an abomination; a striving to pull Him down from His eternal excellency, to make Him altogether like unto us. God would never allow that the will of the creature should be the measure of His honor.

Resolved to do this, whatever difficulties I meet with, how many and how great soever.https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/the-resolutions-of-jonathan-edwards
