1. What Glory is.
Answ. There be Two Things in it.
1. One is supposed, and that is the worth and excellency of such Graces and Perfections, which are in Christ; for all Glory presumes some worth, as the Basis or Bottom, out of which it doth arise. This is included, but not the special consideration attended. 2. The expression, and putting forth of such perfection, in the most eminent operations thereof: therein appears the lustre and beauty of such excellencies, and therefore it is said to be the Glory thereof. Thus the shine of the Sun in its beauty, is called the Glory of the Sun, as we have more at large opened this Point before.
