Now, I shall show what an excellent thing it is, so to Sanctify God, Name in the Hearing of His Word, as to honour it, and how God will Sanctify His own Name in mercy to you.
Now, I shall shew what an excellent thing it is, so to Sanctifie God, Name in the Hearing of His Word, as to honor it, and how God will Sanctifie His own Name in mercy to you.
1 First; All the good in the Word is thine if thou dost Sanctify Gods Name. There is abundance of good in this Word that we preach, it is the word of the Gospel, and to have all the good in that to be thine, that must needs be an excellent thing; you will say, sometimes I read and hear such things in the Word that if I were but sure that these things were my portion, how happy should I be? Here's one sign by which thou mayest be assured that they are all thy portion: Is it thy unfeigned care to Sanctify Gods Name in the Hearing of his Word? Oh peace be to thee! all the good in the Word is thine: And here we might fall into a commendation of the word of the Gospel, and if I should give way to that a great deal of time would quickly be gone, I will only give you one Scripture for your encouragement to Sanctify Gods Name in the hearing of his word by way of commendation of it. It is Rom. 10.5. (a place I am afraid you have not had the sweetness of it for the want of understanding it) It is quoted out of Deut. For Moses describeth the ⟨p. 211⟩Righteousness which is of the Law, that the man which doth those things shall live by them. But the Righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise; Say not in thine heart who shall ascend into heaven, that is, to bring Christ down from above, or who shall descend into the deep, that is, to bring Christ again from the dead? But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth and in thy heart, that is the word of faith which we preach. The text hath some difficul y and yet exceeding sweet to us to know it; I confess it the Apostle Paul had not quoted this place out of Deut. and thus interpreted it, who could ever have thought in reading of Deut. that by the one had bin meant the word of the Law, and by the other the word of the Gospel, therefore the meaning is this, here is a comparison between the word of the Law, and the word of the Gospel, Concerning the word of the Law, there is two things wherein that comes short of the word of the Gospel.
