But then on the other side if so be that thou makest Conscience of Sanctifying Gods name in duties, then he will Sanctify his name in a way of Mercy; that is, he will manifest how he doth accept of the least degree of holiness though there be much mixture: God hath a way to take a way the mixture by the blood of his Son, and then to accept of any holiness he sees in thee, he will Sanctify his name by meeting with thee, and revealing his glory to thee when thou art worshipping of him: There is an excellent scripture for this, Exod: 29. 43. There I will meet with the Children of Israel and the Tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory. Thou that hast a gracious heart and art worshipping of God in Sincerity, thou art as a Tabernacle of God, and God hath his service and worship from thee, thou art as the Temple of God, and there will I meet with thee (saith God) and I will Sanctify my Tabernacle by my glory. God will Sanctify thy heart by his glory if thou doest Sanctify his name.

There I will meet with the Children of Israel and the Tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory. Thou that hast a gratious heart and art worshiping of God in Sincerity, thou art as a Tabernacle of God, and God hath his service and worship from thee, thou art as the Temple of God, and there will I meet with thee (saith God) and I will Sanctifie my Tabernacle by my glory. God will Sanctifie thy heart by his glory if thou doest Sanctifie his name.
Further; thou shalt it may be not always have such glorious comforts, the full beams of the Sun rising upon thee, but at one time or other the Lord will break in upon thee and manifest his glory to thee, and its like if thou hast not such full comforts now, yet upon thy sick bed, though God doth not then always manifest himself fully, for sometimes the disease may be a hinderance, yet it is ordinary that those that in their constant way did Sanctify Gods name in holy duties they do lie comfortably upon their sick beds, and a glorious entrance is made for them into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
