To be religious, in to rejoice in the Lord always,
and is not that pleasant?
It is only one of the Privileges
Religion that we may rejoice, but it is
made one of the Duties of it: We are departure
in our Religion, if we do not live a life
of Complacence in God in his Being, his
Atribution and Relations to us.
They who thru delight in God, have
aways something and samething
in my commanding too, to delight in;
a Fountain of Joy that can never be either
exchange or propped up, and which they
May always have accept.
To be religions is to make [------?] of
praising God; and is not that pleasant?
There is little pleasure in praising
one, whom more praise that are wise
and good, but only The Gods in Israel:
But in joining God we is never with
The beloved Angels in Heaven, and the
Warmth, and do it in concert with them
who the more they know him the more
They praise him. Now, what is it we
have to do in Religion, boyh to praise God?
We are taken into Covenant with God,
That we should be to him for a Name, and
for a praise it is not only a Heaven upon Earth,
but it is a pledge, & coment of a Heaven in
Heaven too. 1-84
