The Second thing is this, That the greatness and glory of 1God in these Names of his is a great aggravation of sin: for to that end it's likewise brought to aggravate the sin of this people in departing from this God. Oh! the Lord is infinitely terrible, he is the Lord of Hosts, and he is Jehovah, ⟨p. 287⟩and yet you wretched creatures have departed from this God, you have sinned against this God; Oh! 'tis a fearful aggravation of mens sin, that their sin is against such a God that is the Lord of Hosts, whose Name is Jehovah; there is nothing that can humble the soul of a sinner more than the sight of the Lord in his glorious 2Attributes, when thou comest to know what a God it is thou hast to deal with, this will make thee to see thy sin to be great; therefore the Prophet sets God in his Glory before this people, that they should come to see their great sin, and that there should be a stop given to the course of their hearts that were running on in the ways of sin.
