4. Anger against enemies must not make us forget our friends, for it is
better to preserve a single citizen of Zion than to kill a thousand enemies. Let those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee. All true worshipers,
though as yet in the humble ranks of seekers, will have cause for joy. Even
though the seeking commence in darkness, it will bring light with it. And let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified. Those
who have tasted divine grace, and are therefore wedded to it, are a somewhat
more advanced race, and these will not only feel joy but will with holy
constancy and perseverance tell abroad their joy, and call upon men to glorify
God. The doxology, “Let the Lord’s name be magnified,” is infinitely more ennobling than the dog’s bark of “Aha, aha.”
