Glory to God on high.
Glory is excellency,1 greatness, and goodness with the eminency of it, so as it may be discovered. There is a fundamental Glory, in things that are not discovered at all times, God is always glorious, but alas, few have eyes to see it, but here I take it for the excellency and eminency of the goodness and greatness of God discovered ⟨p. 218⟩and taken notice of. In the former part of the Chapter, Light is called the glory of the Lord Light is a glorious creature, nothing expresseth glory so much, as light, it is a sweet creature, but it is a glorious creature, it carries it's evidence in it self, it discovers all other things, and it self too. So excellency and eminency will discover it self to those that have eyes to see it, and being manifested, and withal taken notice of, is glory.
