The Elders of Israel trembled at the coming of Samuel, 1 Sam. 16.4. and shall not we tremble when the great God cometh to us in his Ordinances.
Every Relation in which men stand to, God calls for awfulness and dread of him. If I be a Father, where is mine honour? If I be your Master, where is my fear? Mal. 1.6. but especially in the Saints approaches to him, they must stand in awe of him.
