be continually offered up to God, through Christ, in flames of holy love. And let no creature be suffered to share with him, for he is a jealous God. His throne will he not divide with another: he will reign without a rival. Be no design, no desire admitted there, but what has him for its ultimate object. This is the way wherein those children of God once walked, who being dead still speak to us, ‘Desire not to live but to praise his name: let all your thoughts, words, and works tend to his glory.’
