Sixthly, In his Word: and so the Word of God is the glory of God, either in general, as it describes the excellency of Gods nature in all, in his properties or attributes, Psal. 26.8. Or in special, the Gospel is called the Glory, as it sets out the goodness of God, after a matchless manner, relieving forlorn mankind, Isaiah 6.1. And thus that part of the Word of God that doth describe Gods mercy, is called his glory, Exod. 33.18, 19, 22. Eph. 3.16. Thus also that way of showing mercy, by bringing in the infinite righteousness of his own Son, is called the glory of the Lord, Isaiah 40.5.
