Lastly, this glassy sea is not only as Crystal for the transparent brightness; that the Almighty's eye may see all things done in it. But it lies for situation before his Throne; generally for the whole, and particularly for every member, subject to his judgment and governance.

His Throne signifies that imperial government, which he exerciseth over the world. Psal. 9. The Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his Throne for 1judgement. And he shall judge the world in righteousness; he shall minister judgement to the people in uprightness. Neither is it all for Judgement: there is not only a terrible thunder and lightning flashing from this Throne; but out of it proceed comfortable voices: speaking the solaces of the Gospel, and binding up the broken-hearted. Therefore it is said verse 3. there is a Rain-bow about the Throne; which is a sign of Gods covenant, a seal of his eternal mercy towards us. This is round about the Seat; that God can look no way, but he must needs see it. So that to the faithful this Throne is not terrible. Heb. 4. Let us therefore come boldly unto the Throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to ⟨p. 57⟩2help in time of need. If there be the fire of Judgement, there is also the rain of Mercy to quench it.
His Throne signifies that imperiall gouernment, which he exerciseth ouer the world.
