1That the name of God is the only cause that brings Christians into Gods presence, and makes them to call upon his name with strong cries, and comfortable requests. This is evident, Psal. 9.10. where the Prophet showeth, how they come to seek unto God: They that know thy name will trust in thee, for thou never failest them that seek thee. How come they to seek God? They first trust in God. And how come they to trust in God? By the knowledge of Gods name: which till men do know, they can never trust in God, nor seek to God. Therefore it is said in the songs of Solomon: Thy name is an ointment poured forth: 2like unto that ointment mentioned in the Gospel, which filled all the house with the odour of it. No ointment can so delight the natural sense, as the name of God doth the hearts of the faithful; in which regard it is added in that place, Therefore the virgins love thee: That is such as do not go a whoring after fleshly lusts, and after the vanities of the world. They must needs love Christ, because they know that there is no evil; but in this name they shall have a medicine against it. No doubt, but there they shall find a resolution for it: no good thing, but there they may get a certainty of obtaining it. This name of God is notably and comfortably set down: Exod. 34.6. and Isa. 9.6.
