All things

As laudable Practice prepares for a two week summer break, returning on 13th July, words from Hooker, the Laws I.2.4 - one of those many glorious passages from Hooker that are a joy and delight to meditate upon:

The general end of God's external working, is the exercise of his most glorious and most abundant virtue: which abundance doth show itself in variety, and for that cause this variety is oftentimes in scripture expressed by the name of 'riches'.  'The Lord hath made all things for his own sake.'  Not that anything is made to be beneficial unto him, but all things for him to show beneficence and grace in them.
