20. But that respect, under which religion doth consider God, is that Divine excellency, which shines f•rth in his sufficiency and efficiency; it is not some one attribute, but a perfection arising of all his attributes. Ex. 34. 6, 7, 8. Jehova Jehova the strong God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, & full of loving kindness and truth, &c. Therefore all the attributes of God have some power to beget religion in us, & so, in the Scriptures, the special respect of it is referred, sometime to mercy, Psal. 130. 4. with thee is pardoning, that thou mayest be reverently worshipped: sometime to Justice. Deut. 4. 24. Heb. 12. 29. Let us have grace, by which we may so serve God, that we may be accepted of him with reverence and fear. For our God is a consuming fire. And so also to all the other attributes.
