First; The CHRIST of God, is the most Glorious Object that ever was. There was a Luminous, and Fiery, and Heavenly CLOUD, wherein the God of Heaven did from the Beginning sometimes render His Majesty visible to his Peculiar People. That Bright CLOUD, which was the Shechinah, or special and sensible Habitation of God, was called, The GLORY. Multitudes of passages in both Testaments, refer to the Consolations, which the Faithful had in that ⟨p. 10⟩splendid and wondrous & glorious Appearance of GOD among them. Well, But GOD now Inhabits after a more intimate manner in our Lord JESUS CHRIST. Not a Cloud, but a Man, a most Excellent MAN, has the Son of God now taken for his visible Habitation. The Son of God Inhabits Him: Oh: Why should he not be the Praises of His People! The Son of God hath said, This is my Rest forever; Here will I dwell, for I have desired it. Our Lord JESUS CHRIST is now, The GLORY. And all the Fulgid and Flaming Glory of the heavenly CLOUD, is now but a Pavilion round about Him. HE, HE, is the Glory in the City of God: The Light of that City, proceeds from this Glory of the Lord. [See. Rev. 21. 23.] No mortal E•e can approach the Light of that Glory: No man can, see it and live! Then, said, and well said, the Devout Austin, Let me Die that I may come at the the sight! Indeed, There is is no other Object so Glorious. Who is our CHRIST? He is the Lord of Glory. Who is our CHRIST? He is the King of Glory. Who ⟨p. 11⟩our CHRIST? He is the Branch of […] Lord, Beautiful and Glorious. Our CHRIST, he is the very Sun in the right Expanse of heaven. The most Glorious Arch-angels, do like the twinkling Stars, there disappear before him. The Heavens do Praise thy Wonder, O Lord! All the Angels in heaven, are •wallowed up in Praising and Adoring and Extolling the Glory of that wonderful One. They wonder at Us, too, and they Complain of us, and say, Oh! Children of Men, why, why are you no more affected with the Glory of your wonderful Redeemer! Never, No, Never was there any Glory observable any where, but that Glory is Transcendently to be observed in our Lord JESUS CHRIST. •s there a Glory in Riches? Our Glorious CHRIST has Unsearchable Riches. Is there a Glory in Dominion? Our Glorious CHRIST has his Throne Established in the Heavens, and His Kingdom Ruleth over all. •s there a Glory in Understanding? Our CHRIST is One that knows all things.
