Now let us stand a far of, and humble ⟨p. 132⟩our selves, and in reverence and fear learn to take the fruit and comfort of the same:1 for so is the will of God, that we may be partakers of his glory. But where shall we find entrance into this matter? And how shall we be able to come a land? For this is the Sea, and the depth of all the works, of the judgements, and mercies, & of the kingdom of God. This is a Sea that hath no shore, a pit that hath no bottom. The holy Scriptures are the mercy seat, the registry of the mysteries of God, our Charter for the life to come, the holy place in which God showeth him self to the people, the Mount Stone, where God hath appointed to dwell for ever. The more comfort in them, so much the more greedily let us desire them: the more heavenly and glorious they are, with so much the more reverence let us come unto them.
