NOW follow the Reasons why God stands so much1 upon it that he will have his Name Sanctified in this Ordinance of Hearing his Word.
- 1Stepney, Janu. 25. 1645.
1 First, It is because there is so much of God in his Word, and therefore we should Sanctify Gods Name. If it were possible there could be sin in heaven, that sin would be greater then sin committed here; therefore the sin of the Angels when they were in Gods presence in a more especial manner was the greater: The name of God being in any thing, the greater will be the evil if we do not sanctify Gods Name in it; now there is very much of God in his word, more of God there, then in all his works of Creation and Providence. In Ps. 138. 2. Thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name: There being therefore so much of God in his word, we must Sanctify the Name of God in it.
