From 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to Bee God is called Jehovah because hee doth give a Being to All his Promises and maketh them All Yea and Amen He is known to us not onely by the Name 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of God Almightie but also by the Name Jehovah that is he who Promiseth us Deliverance from Egypt and Pharaoh from the Spirituall Egypt and Eternall Pharaoh both from the Sinne of Man and from That Man of Sin And his Promises are like the Capitol built upon immobile Saxum a stone that will never shrink like the Center they are immovable like the Lawes of the Medes and Persians they can Never be Altered like the Angel to Sarah at the Time appointed they will come and like the Law not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 nor 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 not one Jote or Title of them shall fall In thee O God Jehovah doe wee put our trust O Lord Jehovah let us never be put to confusion Here in the Greek he is called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 God of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to Run or of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Feare because in our Feare wee must run to Him He will be our Asylum our Sanctuarie none can pluck us out of his hand If God be on our Side we will not feare what man can doe unto us The Latins terme him Deus of Dedit hee Gave because hee Gave all things to all men Man is made by God like that Woman Pandora all indowments are his Gifts From the Haire on our Heads to the Bloud in our Hearts from the latches of our shooe to the Inheritance of our Ancestors from the Labour of of your Hands to the Studie of our Minds from the Policie of Statsemen to the Simplicitie of Christians both the Spirit of Wisedome and the Wisdome of the Spirit of All we must say what that Prophet did of his Hatchet Alas it is but Borrowed Deus Dedit God is the Fountaine of all our Abilities In our owne language his name is God because he is the Efficient of all Good God doth feed us with his Good Creatures guard us with his Good Angels instruct us with his Good Word comfort us by his Good Spirit and preserve prevent sanctifie and save us by his Good Grace This is our Good this is our God O my soule rest and rejoyce in him Since then God is Jehovah hee who is all Being Originally in Himselfe and Derivatively to all Persons by his Promises Hee is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to whom we must run in all our feares and afflictions He is Deus the Giver of all we have and Are And finally hee is our Good all the Good our head can looke after or our heart can long after oxternall internall eternall Certainely we should Pray and Pray perpetually to that Person proposed here in our text God yea God be mercifull to me a Sinner Now this God this Jehovah is One or rather very Onenesse and meere Unitie having nothing but is selfe in it selfe and not consisting as things doe besides God of many things Howbeit this One is Three One Substance Three Persons The Father the Son and the Holy Ghost Co-equall and Co-eternall the Unitie in the Trinitie and the Trinitie in the Unitie to be worshipped and glorified If any would know more know moreover that God being a Pure Act is most knowable in Himselfe yet least knowable to us because he must be known to us by our Intellect or Understanding but the Object to be Understood by its excellence doth exceed our Facultie of Understanding As the Sunne is Visible in it selfe yet it maketh it Selfe to bee invisible and not to be seene or looked upon by Bats and Owles by the lustre and excellent Light thereof So both because of the Abstrusenesse of the Object and Obtusenesse of the Subject it is impossible that there should bee a perfect knowledge of God in Man I remember I have read that Hiero the King demanded of Simonides the Philosopher Quid est Deus what is God That learned man Petebat Diem craved a Day for to shape him answer The second day hee demands the second time Quid est Deus what is God He begg'd Biduum two dayes to answer him The third Day Three Daies till in the conclusion he ingenuously confessed that the More hee studied the Lesse he was inabled to declare What God it And indeed according to the Vision of that Father it is easier for a Child to take up the Ocean in a Shell than for any man to comprehend in his Scull What God is Tu es interior intimo meo superior summo meo said the holiest of the Fathers God is more inward than our most inward Cogitations God is more high than our most high Speculations The God of Peace is like the Peace of God Hee passeth all Understanding Wherefore our safest eloquence concerning God is silence when we confesse without confession that his goodnesse is inexplicable his greatnesse above our capacitie and reach He is above we upon earth there fore it behoveth our words to bee warie and few I soare too high I will be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 I will stoope to the Ground and build the conclusion of this point upon the Grounds of Religion upon the Principles in our English Catechisme Quid Deus what is God God is our Father which is in Heaven God is the Almightie maker of heaven and earth O Father in heaven O Maker of heaven O God yea God be mercifull to mee a Sinner Here we may cast both our eies on two notes yet neither shall bee able to discerne whether is most noteable Our incomparable Necessitie To Pray and our incomparable Commoditie if we Doe Pray Both these are inferred from this that God is the Object of Prayer or the Person which is onely to be Prayed unto But let this Isis and Thame fall into one Thamisis let this Jor and Dan fall into one Jordan Let both these notes bee handled in one that their confluence may make the fuller fountaine streaming out the more plentifull instructions The ground worke whereof I suppose bee and so propose this proposition Jovis omnia Plena our God is in everie Place and therefore our Prayer should be so also 1 Our Prayer should bee as our God is in temple Cordis in corde Temple both in the Temple of our Heart and in the Heart of our Temple In our Heart God is inthroned tanquam Rex in Throno like a King in his Tribunall where each oppressed Subject ought to exhibite his Petition with all submissure supplication This place the Church is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 here it t●● chiefest part of Gods People and the chiefest part of Gods Temple here then we should especially indeavour to make our Prayers ascend like incense and the lifting up of our hands to be as the Evening sacrifice 2 In your Journies from the Church to your houses
