"reasons why the saints have such a concern that the will of God may be done in earth, as it is in heaven."
"Because it is most just, holy, reasonable, and equitable, in all things, and they see it so, Psal. cxix. 128. ' I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right.' Psal. cxlv. 17. ' The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.' God is holy and just in his own nature, and can command, demand, or inflict nothing that is unjust. He can do no wrong to the creature, nor can he bid the creature do anything wrong. He is infinitely wise, and knows how to guide the world best. What wonder, then, they be concerned his will be done, since it is the best that can be done ?"
