Thirdly, God is infinitely holy, therefore it is not said, Almighty, almighty, almighty, nor Great, ⟨p. 201⟩great, great, but Holy, holy, holy; because God looks upon Holiness as his greatest Excellency: So must you, if you will walk worthy of God, and be holy as he is holy, in all manner of Conversation, 1 Pet. 1.15, 16.
Fourthly, He is a God-All sufficient, Gen. 17. I am God All-sufficient, walk before me, and be upright. You give him the honour of his All-sufficiency, in being upright. When you step out from God, to fetch relief some where else, you dishonour God: Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you go out to the god of Ekron?
Fifthly, He is a faithful God. His faithfulness is twice repeated. Faithful is he that hath called you, 1 Thes. 5.24. God is faithful by whom you were called, 1 Cor. 1.9. Then would you walk worthy of God who hath called you; When ever God makes a promise, promise your self that thing, because God hath promised it; Not because the creature promiseth it, being big and full of second Causes; but when God promiseth, assure your self of it, because God hath promised it. This is to walk worthy of God, as he is faithful.
