12 But although all the wicked, with their sacrilegious lust should fly a sunder for spite; yet shall the holiness of Gods name shine & glister. For thus the prophet crieth out; [As thy name ô God, so doth thy praise extend unto all the ends of the earth;] for wheresoever the Lord maketh himself known, it cannot be, but his virtue, power, goodness, wisdom, justice, mercy, and truth should manifest themselves, whereby we might be drawn unto the admiration of his majesty, and stirred up to set forth his praises.
12 But although all the wicked, with their sacrilegious lust shoulde flie a sunder for spite; yet shall the holines of Gods name shine & glister. For thus the prophet crieth out; [As thy name ô God, so doth thy praise extend vnto al the ends of the earth;] for whersoeuer the Lord maketh himself knowen, it cannot be, but his vertue, power, goodnes, wisdome, justice, mercy, and truth should manifest themselues, whereby wee might be drawen vnto the admiration of his majestie, and stirred vp to set forth his praises.
13 But, inasmuch as GOD is so unworthily robbed of his holiness upon earth, we are bidden, if we have not power to maintain the same; yet at the least, to under-take the care thereof in our prayers, as it is meet we should, although of it self, it can neither increase nor be diminished.
13 But, in asmuch as GOD is so vnworthily robbed of his holines vpon earth, we ar bidden, if we haue not power to maintaine the same; yet at the least, to vnder-take the care thereof in our praiers, as it is meet we should, althogh of it selfe, it can neither increase nor be diminished.
14 Whosoever therefore do obscure the holiness of God, or suffer the same to be obscured, as far as in them lieth, they sin against this petition, and are most heavily guilty of Gods judgement.
