1. God is much offended with his People that do not sanctify him. Moses and Aaron, as choice and as dear to God as they were, yet you know what the Lord saith, Numb. 20. 12. Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the Eyes of the Children of Israel; therefore ye shall not bring this Congregation into the Land which I have given them. When Moses and Aaron murmured, and spake unadvisedly, and did not sanctify him, nor carry God's Excellency aloft, They shall not enter. And God remembereth this a great while after, in that Deut. 32. 51. Because ye trespassed against me among the Children of Israel, at the Waters of Meribahkadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the Children of Israel, thou shalt not go unto the Land which I give the Children of Israel. Well then, tho God's Children should get to Heaven, yet if they do not sanctify God, they will want many a Privilege. God will remember ⟨p. 177⟩this against them; for he takes it ill, when his People will not sanctify him, as becoming his peculiar Excellency.
