A further Note from this story is this, That •ke great honour that God intends to his Name, It is the making of his Name Holy. I will be Sanctified in them that draw nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified.

As if Moses should say in Gods Name, I must and will have glory from the people, And how? By making my name appear to be holy, this is the glory that I stand upon above all other things that my Name may appear to be Holy, that I may appear to be a holy God. I beseech you brethren consider of this, ⟨p. 24⟩God stands upon nothing more than to appear to all the world to be a Holy God, there's the glory of Gods Name in an eminent way, God doth not so much stand upon this, to appear to be a strong God, to appear to be a powerful God, to be a God of patience, long-suffering, God doth not so much stand to be an Omniscient God, though these Attributes are dear to God, but that he may appear to be a Holy God: that he stands upon. Whatever glory of the Name of God, that God shall be content to have eclipsed in the world for a while, yet he is resolved he will have the Glory of his Holiness above all things: and therefore the Angels when they are celebrating the glory of God, they do not say Lord Almighty, Almighty, Almighty, or Lord Omniscient, Omniscient, Omniscient, but Holy, Holy, Holy. Those three together, the Holiness of God, therein appears the glory of God above all: God stands upon it that he will appear to be a Holy God.
