And it is •it for us, therefore to give regard and some reverence to God when he speaks, to have an heart to tremble at his Word, that's that God looks for. In Isa. 66. 2. The Lord that is on high, yet he looks to him that is of a poor and contrite spirit, and trembleth at his Word; the Word that God speaks is that that hath the dreadful Authority of God in it, It is that that binds Conscience, it's that Word that if thou obeyest not, will bind thee over to eternal death: It becomes the greatest Monarchs in the world to have shaking and trembling hearts when God speaks: Oh! who art thou that canst stand against the Voice of God when he speaks? Oh bold and hard heart (I say) that canst stand out against Gods Voice. In Psal. 29. 4. The Voice of the Lord is powerful the Voice of the Lord is full of Majesty. And in Hab. 3. 16 When I heard, my belly trembled, and my lips quivered at the Voice, and I trembled in my self again. This is the honour that is due to God, Oh it is a comely thing to see a Congregation sit even 1trembling under the Word of God, manifesting their hearts to be affected with the Authority and Majesty of what it is that God speaks; for there's much Majesty in the Voice of God, Oh! 'tis full of Majesty.
