for_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o this_o title_n there_o be_v these_o three_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v first_o to_o show_v you_o a_o little_a what_o holiness_n in_o god_n be_v second_o i_o shall_v open_v unto_o you_o how_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v glorious_a in_o holiness_n and_o then_o three_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o why_o god_n have_v this_o title_n give_v he_o here_o in_o this_o place_n why_o he_o be_v rather_o say_v here_o to_o be_v glorious_a in_o holiness_n then_o glorious_a in_o power_n for_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o power_n rather_o that_o god_n do_v put_v forth_o in_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o egyptian_n and_o deliverance_n of_o his_o people_n for_o the_o first_o what_o be_v holiness_n in_o god_n we_o understand_v this_o as_o general_o we_o do_v almost_o all_o thing_n of_o god_n rather_o by_o way_n of_o negation_n then_o otherwise_o rather_o by_o what_o it_o be_v not_o then_o by_o what_o it_o be_v therefore_o we_o use_v to_o say_v that_o god_n holiness_n be_v that_o whereby_o his_o nature_n be_v free_a from_o all_o kind_n of_o mixture_n and_o from_o the_o least_o soil_n and_o filth_n of_o sin_n therefore_o god_n be_v call_v light_n because_o light_n be_v so_o pure_a a_o creature_n and_o so_o free_a from_o any_o mixture_n of_o pollution_n that_o it_o can_v be_v among_o filthy_a thing_n without_o any_o defilement_n of_o itself_o so_o god_n can_v work_v with_o sin_n itself_o and_o yet_o without_o any_o defilement_n of_o his_o nature_n but_o beside_o this_o negation_n if_o you_o will_v know_v somewhat_o positive_o what_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n be_v i_o will_v describe_v it_o brief_o to_o you_o thus_o it_o be_v the_o infinite_a rectitude_n and_o perfection_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n especial_o whereby_o he_o do_v will_n and_o work_v all_o thing_n suitable_a to_o the_o infinite_a excellency_n of_o his_o own_o be_v the_o excellency_n of_o god_n be_v the_o high_a and_o therefore_o the_o rule_n of_o all_o excellency_n and_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v always_o suitable_a to_o his_o own_o infinite_a excellency_n and_o impossible_a to_o vary_v in_o the_o least_o from_o it_o therefore_o his_o will_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o all_o holiness_n let_v we_o consider_v it_o a_o little_a by_o look_v into_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o by_o that_o we_o shall_v see_v somewhat_o of_o the_o

its_o beam_n in_o the_o water_n we_o may_v behold_v its_o glory_n so_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n be_v too_o bright_a to_o be_v behold_v in_o itself_o we_o can_v behold_v the_o infinite_a purity_n and_o holiness_n of_o god_n immediate_o but_o by_o look_v upon_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o creature_n which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o reflection_n of_o god_n holiness_n upon_o it_o and_o a_o ray_n and_o beam_n of_o it_o we_o may_v come_v to_o see_v somewhat_o of_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n now_o the_o holiness_n of_o a_o creature_n be_v this_o the_o separation_n of_o it_o from_o common_a thing_n to_o a_o holy_a use_n or_o the_o dedication_n of_o a_o creature_n in_o some_o immediate_a manner_n to_o god_n for_o the_o lift_n up_o of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o holiness_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v this_o the_o separation_n of_o their_o spirit_n from_o all_o common_a thing_n to_o god_n as_o the_o high_a and_o last_o end_n and_o when_o they_o be_v able_a to_o work_v to_o god_n as_o

to_o himself_o as_o the_o last_o and_o high_a end_n this_o be_v the_o holiness_n of_o god_n and_o the_o image_n of_o this_o holiness_n be_v that_o stamp_n and_o work_v of_o grace_n that_o be_v upon_o

to_o we_o according_a to_o our_o apprehension_n therefore_o you_o may_v see_v how_o the_o saint_n do_v especial_o glory_v in_o god_n as_o a_o holy_a god_n look_v upon_o he_o as_o a_o holy_a god_n

which_o can_v make_v a_o infinite_a god_n glorious_a must_v needs_o make_v a_o poor_a worm_n a_o glorious_a creature_n it_o be_v true_a that_o which_o will_v make_v a_o poor_a man_n glorious_a will_v not_o make_v a_o king_n glorious_a but_o that_o which_o will_v make_v a_o king_n glorious_a must_v needs_o make_v a_o beggar_n glorious_a now_o holiness_n put_v a_o lustre_n and_o glory_n upon_o the_o
