If you were able to build such a place as this was for the service of God, you would think it a great matter, it is not so much regarded as if you could bring a trembling heart to Gods word, that's a special thing wherein the Sanctifying ⟨p. 182⟩of the Name of God consists, when we come to see the dreadful Authority that there is in the word of God, when we are able to see more glory of God in His Word than in all the works of God besides, for there is more of his glory in the word than there is in the whole Creation of Heaven and Earth, take the Sun, and Moon and Stars, you that are Mariners you have seen much of the glory of God abroad that one would think might strike terror into all your hearts, but know that there is more of the dreadfulness of Gods Name in His word than in all His works; In Psal. 138.2.
