The practice of piety directing a Christian how to walk, that he may please…

3.^† Adon•i, My Lord. This name, as the Masorets note, is found 134▪ times in the Old Testament. Analogically it is given to Creatures, but properly it belongeth to God alone. It is used, Malach. 1. 6. in the plural number, to note the mystery of the holy Trinity. If I be Adonim, Lords, where is my fear? Adoni the singular: Adonim the plural number. This Name is given to Christ, Dan 9. 16. Cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for Adoni, (the Lord Christ) his sake. The hearing of this Holy Mame, may teach every Man to obey God's Commandments, ⟨p. 22⟩to fear him alone, to suffer none besides him to reign in his Conscience, to lay hold (by a particular hand of faith) upon his Word and Promise, and to challenge God in Christ to be his God, that he may say with Thomas, Thou art my Lord and my God.
