This is the honour and majesty then, that God hath put upon his written Word, and thus he hath done even of purpose, that we might make them the rule and directory of our FEAR, and that we might stand in awe of, and tremble at them. When Habakkuk heard the Word of the Lord, his belly trembled, and rottenness entered into his bones. I trembled in my self, said he, that I might have rest in the day of trouble, Hab. 3.16. The word of a King is as the roaring of a Lion; where the word of a King is, there is power; what is it then when God, ⟨p. 27⟩the great God shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem, whose voice shakes not only Earth, but also Heaven. How doth holy David set it forth, The voice of the Lord is powerful, the voice of the LORD is full of majesty, &c. Psal. 29.
