1. It was, as may be supposed, called a Sea, for that it was large to contain, and a Sea of brass, for that it was made thereof. It is called in Revelations a Sea of glass, alluding to that in the Wilderness, which was made of the brazen Looking-glasses of the Women, that came to worship at the Door of the Tabernacle; Revel. 4.6. Chap. 15.2. Exod. 28.8.
2. It was also said to be molten, because it was made of that fashion, by fire, and its Antitype therefore said to be a Sea of glass mingled with fire; Revel. 15.2.
1. This Sea was a figure of the Word of the Gospel, in the cleansing virtue of it, which virtue, then it has, when mingled with the fire of the Holy Ghost. And to this Christ alludes, when he saith, Now ye are clean through the Word, which I have spoken unto you, Joh. 15.3.
