The next name is, JEHOVAH: The Lord Jehovah 1is his Memorial.
- 1Jehovah.
This name Jehovah is a name that God glories much in, for indeed it is the name of Gods Being, it signifies the Being of God more fully than any name God hath; this, and that name of God, I am that I am, which comes from the same root, and is in effect the same with this name Jehovah; I say, God glories in this above all his Names: and therefore in Deut. 28. 18. That thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful Name Jehovah, the Lord; in your books it is, The Lord thy God, but in the Original, That thou mightest fear this glorious and fearful name, Jehovah, thy God; God looks upon this name, as his Glorious Name, and his Fearful Name, and would have people to take heed that they look to this, that they fear this glorious and fearful Name, JEHOVAH, thy God: This Name the Jews keep a mighty stir about, and think they find great Mysteries in it, they have such superstition, and do so reverence this Name, that they will not so much as pronounce it, they call it the Ineffable Name; and if it be written upon a Paper, they think it is a very wicked thing to tread upon that Paper. But it's very observable here how cross the superstition of men is to God, they in way of reverence to God will not so much as mention this Name, because they say 'tis a name that God so much glories in: And yet mark here, my Text saith, this name is Gods memorial, God would have this Name mentioned above any of his Names, 'tis the Name by which he would be remembered to all generations. So in Exod. 3. 15. there you shall find, that God speaking of this Name of his, [Jehovah] it is that that he would be known by to all generations. Surely there is much then in this Name.
