A further Note from this story is this, That the great honour that God intends to his Name, It is, the making of his Name Holy. I will be Sanctified in them that draw nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified.

As Moses should say in Gods Name, I must, and will have glory from the people, And how? By making my Name appear to be Holy, this is the glory that I stand upon above all other things, that my Name may appear to be Holy, that I may appear to be a Holy God. I beseech you Brethren consider of this, ⟨p. 24⟩God stands upon nothing more than to appear to all the world to be a Holy God, there's the glory of Gods Name in an eminent way, God doth not so much stand upon this to appear to be a strong God, to appear to be a powerful God, to be a God of patience, long suffering, God doth not so much stand to be an Omniscient God, though these Attributes are dear to God, but that he may appear to be a Holy God: that he stands upon. Whatever glory of the Name of God, that God shall be content to have eclipsed in the world for a while, yet he is resolved he will have the glory of his Holiness above all things: and therefore the Angels when they are celebrating the glory of God, they do not say, Lord Almighty, Almighty, Almighty, or Lord, Omniscient, Omniscient, Omniscient; but Holy, Holy, Holy: Those three together, the Holiness of God, therein appears the glory of God above all: God stands upon it that he will appear to be a Holy God.
