Thus all are ashamed of the Gospel.

But it shall be yours, Sire, not to turn away your ears or thoughts from so just a defence, especially in a cause of such importance as the maintenance of God's glory unimpaired in the world, the preservation of the honor of divine truth, and the continuance of the kingdom of Christ uninjured among us.

This is a cause worthy of your attention, worthy of your cognizance, worthy of your throne.

This consideration constitutes true royalty, to acknowledge yourself in the government of your kingdom to be the minister of God.

For where the glory of God is not made the end of the government, it is not a legitimate sovereignty, but a usurpation.
