The heart of man may well move out of his place when he considers how dreadful God is in his place, and what wonders he both doth and can do. David casting his eye up to the heavens and the host of them (Psal. 8.) concludes with admiration (v. 8.) O Lord our God, how excellent is thy Name in all the world! They who have but little knowledge of the works of God, cannot be much affected with them; they who know them deeply cannot, but be deeply affected with them. Fools and ignorant persons slight or lightly pass by any thing that God doth or speaks; but they who are wise hearted will lay both his Word and Woks to heart, their hea•ts will tremble and be moved out of their place. Holy King David adviseth the Kings and Judges of the earth to serve the Lord with fear and to rejoice with trembling (Ps. 2 11.) And the holy Apostle Paul exhorteth all Christians to work out their salvation with fear and trembling (Philip. 2.12.) Now if we are to tremble in our daily service, how much more under dreadful providences!
