So that God in the Old, and Christ in the New Testa- ment, hath conditioned his Doctrine, and his ReUgion (that is, his outward worship) so, as that evermore there should be preserved a Majesty, and a reverentiall feare, and an awfull discrimination of Divine things from Civill, and evermore something reserved to be inquired after, and laid up in the mouth of the Priest, that the People might acknowledge an obligation from him, in the exposition, and application thereof. Nay, this way of answ...ering us by terrible things, (that is, by things that imprint a holy horror, and a Religious reverence) is much more in the Christian Church, then it can have beene in any other Rehgion ; Because, if wee consider the Jews, (which is the onely ReHgion, that can enter into any comparison with the Christian, in this kinde) yet, we looke more directly and more immediately upon Terrible Things. 107 God in Christ, then they could, who saw him but by- way of Prophecie, a future thing that should be done after ; we looke upon God, in History, in matter of fact, upon things done, and set before our eyes ; and so that Majesty, and that holy amazement, is more to us then ever it was to any other Religion, because we have a nearer approximation, and vicinity to God in Christ, then any others had, in any representions of their Gods ; and it is a more dazeling thing to looke upon the Sun, in a direct, then in an oblique or side line.
