This Declaration of the Name of God is as comfortable chearing directing Light to the dark World Isa 60.1 2 3. Though darkness doth cover the Earth gross ignorance doth over-spread the People yet the Lord doth arise on the Church and his Glory is seen on her The Grace of God to perishing Sinners is his Glory and when his Name is declared as Gracious and Merciful then his Glory is declared to the World Isa 66.18 19. In knowing God's Name Men do see his Glory this makes it Day with the Church when it is Night with the World 3.

This Discovery of God is the very Bread and Food of our Souls Isa 55.2 Hearken diligently unto me and eat you that which is good and let your Soul delight in fatness The best things of this World without the Favour of God and an Interest in Christ will be rather hurtful than good to us But if we hearken unto Christ we shall eat that which is good indeed The Benefits of Christ are a Spiritual Good a Satisfying Good an Eternal Good and our Souls may here delight themselves in Fatness Here are not only Fat things Isa 25.6 but Fatness it self not only Good things but Goodness it self Psal 65.4 We shall be satisfied with the Goodness of thy House even of thy Holy Temple Your Souls will have nothing to live upon and to sustain themselves with if you listen not to Jesus Christ there is no Bread of Life no Water of Life but in Jesus Christ Famine Reigns abroad in the World and those that are strangers to Jesus Christ will perish with Thirst 2. Jesus Christ Preacheth these Great and Excellent Things very plainly 2 Cor. 3.12 13. We use great plainness of speech and not as Moses that put a Veil over his face There is great Lustre and Light in the Gospel-dispensations So that with open face we may behold the Glory of the Lord 2 Cor. 3.18 If the Gospel be hid from us the Veil is not on Christ's Face but on our Hearts 2 Cor. 3.15 The Veil before the most Holy Place is rent Life and Immortality is brought to light We are plainly taught in what Name we must be justified * 1 Cor. 6.11 John 16.23.26 and call upon God * We must be justified and Pray in Christ's Name on what Arm we must trust Isa 51.4 In what Beloved we must be accepted Ephes 1.6 In whose Blood we must wash our Robes white Rev. 7.14 In what Seed we must be blessed Gal. 3.8 If Men are now Ignorant it is because they shut their Eyes love Darkness and hate the * John 3.19 20. Light 3. Jesus Christ Preacheth these Great and Excellent Things as in a great measure come and now actually exhibited to us The Patriarchs saw the Promises afar off but the Watchmen of the Gospel are said to see Eye to Eye Isa 52.8 They behold the things that were future now to be accomplished come and performed The Law and the Prophets Prophesied until John Matth. 11.13 They spake of Christ and his Kingdom as future things but now since that time the Kingdom of God is preached and every Man presseth into it Luke 16.16 Now the Kingdom of God is come is set up the Messiah hath passed through and laid aside the form of a Servant and hath put on the Majesty and Form of a Lord the low state of the Messiah his Humiliation is past he is entred into his Glory these Glad Tydings are now published to us that our God who served below now Reigneth above Isa 52.7 4.
