The law was given in thunder lightening / fire / smoke and the voice of a trumpet and terrible sight. Exodi. xx.1 So that the people quaked for fear and stood a far of saying to Moses. Speak thou to us and we will hear: let not the lord speak unto us / lest we dye. No ear (if it be a waked and understandeth the meaning) is able to abide the voice of the law: except the promises of mercy be by.
