Francis Rous

The Great Oracle: Or, the Main Frame & Body of the Scriptures, Resolving the Question, Whether in Man’s Free Will & Common Grace, Or in God’s Special & Effectual Grace, Stands the Safety of Man & the Glory of God by Man’s Safety  (1718), p. 5  Rouse was a Westminster divine.

“God is the end of Himself, in all his ways, works and counsels; neither is there any end worthy of God, but God.  Therefore all his works, as they begin in Him, so they end in Him, bringing some glory to Him.”
