“God is not otherwise to be enjoyed than as he is obeyed: nor indeed
are the notions of him, as a Lord to be obeyed, and as a good to be enjoyed,
entirely distinct; but are interwoven and do run into one another. We obey him, even in enjoying him; it being part
of our enjoined duty, to set our hearts upon him, as our best and highest good.
And we enjoy him in obeying him; the
advantage and benefit of his government, being a real and most momentous part
of that good which we enjoy from him, and in him.”
John Howe
(1630-1705)
