They are not ashamed to speak of Christ or speak for him. No, Jesus hangs upon their Lips, and is Music in their Ears. They speak of the glorious Honour of his Majesty, and the Glory of his Kingdom. Nor do they glorify Christ only with joyful Lips, but with obedient Lives. As Christ has purchased them for himself, so they glorify him in their Bodies and in their Spirits, which are his. The Love of Christ constrains them to live not to themselves, but unto him that loved them and dyed for them. The various Steps of their Walk and Acts of their Worship are to the Glory of Christ actually or habitually, mediately or immediately.
William Hobby — William Hobby, The Faithful Minister the Glory of Christ, a sermon at the ordination of Daniel Emerson to the Second Church in Dunstable (1743), p. 26
