Heaven is my throne (saith the Lord, Isa. 66.1.) the throne is the seat of a Prince, there he declares his power, and his state; his glory shines from his throne. A Prince looks like a common man when he is abroad in the world, but when upon his throne, then the rays of Majesty break forth, and he appears as he is. Thus the holy Prophet begs a gracious look of the Lord from heaven (Isa. 63.15.) Look down from heaven, the habitation of thy holiness, and of thy glory. Heaven is called the habitation of Gods holiness, and of his glory, because his holiness and glory shine forth more in heaven, then upon the earth; little of the holiness of God is discovered to us here, though so much of it breaks forth here as causeth the ⟨p. 106⟩heart of carnal men to quarrel with it continually.

A Prince looks like a common man when he is abroad in the world, but when upon his throne, then the rayes of Majesty break forth, and he appeares as he is. Thus the holy Prophet begs a gratious look of the Lord from heaven (Isa. 63.15.) Looke downe from heaven, the habitation of thy holinesse, and of thy glory. Heaven is called the habitation of Gods holinesse, and of his glory, because his holinesse and glory shine forth more in heaven, then upon the earth; little of the holinesse of God is discovered to us here, though so much of it breaks forth here as causeth the
