(2.) Meditate on God's Holiness. Psal. 111.9. Holy and reverend is his Name. Hab. 1.13. Thou art of purer Eyes than to behold Iniquity. God is Essentially, Originally and Efficiently Holy: All the Holiness in Men and Angels is but a Chrystal Stream that runs from this Glorious Ocean. God loves Holiness because it is his own Image. A King cannot but love to see his own Effigies stamped on Coin. God counts Holiness his Glory, and the most sparkling Jewel of his Crown. Exod. 15.11. Glorious in Holiness. Here is a Meditation fit for our first entrance into a Sabbath, God's Holiness: The Contemplation of this would work in us such a Frame of Heart as is suitable to an Holy God: It would make us then Reverence his Name, Hallow his Day: While we are musing of the Holiness of God's Nature, we begin to be transformed into his Likeness.
