The Majesty of Kings is dreadful and terrible; but I may say, the Majesty of Kings, the Majesty of Solomon, and of Ahasuerus, the Majesty of Nebuchadnezzar, and of Alexander, either, first, in their Robes; or, secondly, in their Buildings; or, thirdly, in their Feastings; or, fourthly, in their Followers and Attendants (which four do chiefly hold out the Majesty of Princes) is but a mean thing, a very little thing, a nothing, in comparison of the Majesty, the Glorious Majesty, the terrible Majesty of God: His is a terrible Majesty indeed.

Take these two Inferences from the consideration of the terrible Majesty of God.
