This Title is in it self a very fearful one, and yet before we have done with it we shall find it like that name of Christ, Cant. 1. 3. Thy name is as an ointment poured forth, a sweet refreshing pleasant ointment. In the 2. of Sam. Chap. 6. ver. 2. the Lord speaks of this name of his set between the Cherubims, Whose name is called by the name of the Lord of Hosts that dwelleth between the Cherubims. Now you know the Mercy-seat was between the Cherubims, and that which I shall endeavour this day is, To show you this name of the Lord of Hosts written upon the mercy-seat between the Cherubims. Although it be dreadful in it self, yet all Gods Saints shall have it this day presented to them from the mercy-seat: A name as full of goodness and mercy, as our hearts can desire. We have already seen in this Kingdom the Lord of Hosts upon his Mercy-seat, making this his dreadful title to be amiable and lovely to us, from thence dispensing grace and abundance of mercy in the manifestation of this his glorious title. It is comfortable to behold the Lord of Hosts sitting upon his Mercy-seat: and ⟨p. 5⟩thus am I to present him this day unto you.
