Also his name, I AM JAH JEHOVAH, with several others, what is by them intended, but his nature, as his Power, Wisdom, Eternity, Goodness and Omnipotency, &c. might be expressed and declared. The name of God is therefore the object of a Christians fear. David prayed to God that he would unite his heart to fear his name, Psal. 86.11. Indeed the name of God is a fearful name, and should always be reverenced by his people: ⟨p. 14⟩Yea his name is to be feared for ever and ever, and that not only in his Church, and among his Saints, but even in the world, and among the Heathen. So the Heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all Kings thy glory, Psal. 102.15.

God tells us that his name is dreadful, and that he is pleased to see men be afraid before his name. Yea one reason why he executeth so many judgments upon men as he doth, is that others might see, and fear his name. So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the West, and his glory from the rising of the Sun. See
