Who knows the power of his anger? The mountains quake at him, the Hills melt, and the Earth is burnt at his presence. Yea the world, and all that dwell therein. Who can stand before his indignation? who can abide the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the Rocks are thrown down by him, Neh. 1.5, 6.
His people know him, and have his dread upon them, by virtue whereof there is begot and maintained in them that godly awe and reverence of his Majesty which is agreeable to their profession of him. Let him be your FEAR, and let him be your Dread. Set his Majesty before the eyes of your souls, and let his excellency make you ⟨p. 5⟩afraid with godly fear, Isa. 8.12, 13.
