The word Cabhodh, which is commonly translated glory, is used in such a manner as might be expected from this signification of the words from whence it comes. Sometimes it is used to signify what is infernal, what is within the being or person inherent, in the subject, or what is in the possession of the person: and sometimes for emanation, exhibition or communication of this internal glory: and sometimes for the knowledge or sense, or effect of these, in those who behold it, to whom the exhibition or communication is made; or an expression of this knowledge or sense or effect. And here I would note, that agreeable to the use of the word Cabhodh in the old testament, is that of the word Doxa in the new. For as the word Cabhodh is generally translated by Doxa in the septuagint; so 'tis apparent, that this word is designed to be used to signify the same thing in the new testament, with Cabhodh in the old. This might be abundantly proved by comparing particular places of the old testament; but probably it will not be denied.

I THEREFORE proceed particularly to consider these words, with regard to their use in scripture, in each of the forementioned ways.
