Shall see thy Name. Now the Hebrew word here used [Greek or Hebrew] may be better derived from Jare, which signifies to fear, than from Raah, that signifies to see, and so the words will run smoothly thus, The man of wisdom, or of essence, shall fear ⟨image 5⟩thy Name, considering that, 'tis majesty it self that crieth, and that he is immediately to deal with God himself, and not with a poor, weak, mortal worm.

Hear ye the Rod. The word Hear, is from [Greek or Hebrew] Shamang, which signifies, First, To mark, observe, and attend, to what is said, Gen. 29. 33. The Lord hath heard that I was hated; that is, he hath marked it, he hath observed it. So here, O mark the Rod, O observe the Rod, O attend to what is spoken by the Rod. Secondly, The word signifies, to understand what is spoken, so Gen. 42. 23. They knew not that Joseph understood them: In the Hebrew 'tis, that Joseph heard them. Now to hear the Rod, is to understand what is spoken to us by the Rod. Thirdly, ⟨image 6⟩The word signifies, to believe a thing reported to be true, so Exod. 6. 9
