A. That Excellency which is in him. For the Excellency of a thing, that which causeth it to be in high esteem, and procureth a name, fame, and renown unto it, is the Glory of it. Thea Hebrew word signifieth that which is weighty and of worth. Theb Greek word signifieth both fame and glory. For glory causeth fame. In Scripture, glory and excellency are put for one and the same thing: and that in relation both to creatures, and to the Creator: as, where the Prophet speaking of the glory of the Church, saith,c the GLORY of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the EXCELLENCY of Carmel and Sharon. The shall see the GLORY of the Lord, and the EXCELLENCY of our God. On this ground where the excellency of our God is set forth, glory is attributed to him, and he is styledd God of glory, eKing of Glory, fFather of glory. And his Name, Habitation, Throne and Gospel, because of the excellency of them, are styled ga name of glory, han habitation of glory, ia throne of glory, ka Gospel of glory. Yea for the same end Glory is also prefixed before the things of God, asl Glory of Majesty, mGlory of Kingdom, nGlory of Grace, oGlory of Power.
