Waverings where faith is, are like the tossings of a ship fast at anchor.

Worship
The nature of God is the foundation of worship, the will of God is the rule of worship.

God in Nature
In nature, we see God, as it were, like the sun in a picture; in the law, as the sun in a cloud; in Christ we see Him in His beams; He being “the brightness of His glory, and the exact image of His person.”

Holiness of God
If every attribute of the Deity were a distinct member, purity would be the form, the soul, the spirit to animate them. Without holiness, his patience would be an indulgence to sin, his mercy a fondness, his wrath a madness, his power a tyranny, his wisdom an unworthy subtlety. Holiness gives decorum to them all.
