First, Because they are from the great God, and they have the stamp of the Authority of the great God upon them, there is a dreadful Authority in every Truth, in every thing that is written in Gods Law, (I say) there is a dreadful Authority of the great God, that binds Kings and Princes in chains, that lays bonds upon the conscience that no created power can, yet this doth; when we come to hear the Word, we come either as to a Sovereign to receive Laws from, or as to a Judg to receive the sentence of death, it hath the dreadful Authority of the great God in it, and therefore every thing that is in the Word is to be looked upon as a great thing;1 a piece of Parchment and a little Wax, and a few Lines in it what are they? but having the Authority of the great Seal of England, such a piece is to be looked upon as a great thing: The things of Gods Law are great things, for they have great Authority which goes along with them.
