W.C. Dean

Puritan Board Sophomore
"If we maintain, then, the glory of God, let us speak in his own language, or be for ever silent. That is glorious in him which he ascribes unto himself. 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 honour. The obedience of paradise was to have been regulated. God's prescription hath been the bottom of his acceptation of any duty ever since he had a creature to worship him.

Owen, 'The Death of Death in the Death of Christ'

Have a blessed Sabbath Day.
