WE may name one place wherein it is gloriously represented unto us, Isa. 9. 6. For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the Government shall be on his Shoulders; and his Name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Here must the whole Church fall down and worship the Author of this wonderful Contrivance, and captivating their Understandings unto the Obedience of Faith, humbly adore what they cannot comprehend.
THIS was obscurely represented unto the Church of old, Exo. 3. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. And the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a Flame of Fire out of the midst of a Bush, and he looked, and behold the Bush burned with Fire, and the Bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great Sight, why the Bush is not burnt. And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the Bush, and said, Moses, Moses; and he said, here am I. And he said, draw not nigh hither, put of thy Shoes from off thy Feet, for the Place whereon thou standest is holy Ground. Moreover he said, I am the God of thy Fathers, the God of Abraham, &c.
