I will be sanctified] I will be Hallowed, for it is the very same that you have in the Lords Prayer, Hallowed be thy Name, only that's the Greek word, and this is the Hebrew: but if you would translate this word into Greek, you must translate it by the same word that Christ spake when he taught his disciples to pray hallowed be thy name, Hallowed and Sanctified is all one. Lord let thy Name appear to be Holy: so I will be Sanctified, that is, I will have my Name appear to be Holy, I will be made known unto my People, and to all the World that I am a holy God: that's the meaning of I will be Sanctified, I will be known to all the world that I am a Holy God.
And before all the People I will be Glorified, so it is in the latter part of the verse: as if God should say, I account it to be my glory that I should be manifested to be Holy before all the World.
I will be Sanctified, that is I will have my People to demean and carry themselves so as to hold forth their acknowledgement of my Holiness so, as by their carriage I may appear to be a Holy God. I will be Sanctified by them, or otherwise if they shall not in an active way Sanctify my name, that is, if they shall not demean themselves so as to hold forth the glory of my Holiness, then I will be Sanctified upon them, I will demean and carry my self towards them so, as by my actions upon them, I will make it appear what a Holy God I am: So God is Sanctified two ways, either by the Holiness of his People, in their carriage towards him holding forth the glory of Gods Holiness: and so in that 1 Pet. 3.15. Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, the Saints do Sanctify God in their hearts when they fear God as a Holy God and Reverence him and Love him as a holy God: and so Sanctify him in their lives, when their lives do hold forth the glory of Gods Holiness, then God is Sanctified.
