6 The next thing for the Sanctifying Gods name in the hearing of the word is this, we must hear it with a trembling heart, with fear as well as meekness, and for that you have that famous Scripture in Isa. 66. beginning. Thus saith the Lord, the Heaven is my Throne, and the Earth is my footstool where is the house that ye build unto me, and where is the place of my rest? For all those things hath my hand made, and all those things have been saith the Lord, but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor, and of a contrite spirit and trembleth at my word. this is a most admirable Scripture. Mark how God lifts up himself in his glory, so great a God as the Heaven is my Throne, and the Earth is my footstool where is that house that ye will build unto me? but then may a poor Soul say, how shall I be able to stand before this God that is so glorious? Saith God, be not discouraged Poor Soul who doest tremble at my word, for I look to you; And then this is a further thing observable that God hath a regard to that soul that trembles at his word, rather then to any that should build the most sumptuous buildings in the world for him, for saith God here, the Heaven is my Throne, and the Earth is my footstool, where is the house that ye build unto me and where is the place of my rest? they have built a glorious Temple to God, but what do I regard that saith God?
