other then to God Concerning this word it is tetragrammaton a word of foure letters much written of and much spoken of and divers speculations gathered out of it as namely that there are three letters according to the number of the three Persons in the Trinity and and that of those three letters the first signifieth Power the proper adjunct of the Father The second wisedome and knowledge the proper adjunct of the Sonne The third love the proper adjunct of the Holy Ghost And that the second letter is doubled to teach us that the Second Person should take on him two natures of God and Man The diminution of Jehovah in Jah that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signifieth Deum diminutum God in the Diminutive 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Praise ye Iah whereof there is such manifold use in the Psalmes But plainely this may be sufficient for us that it is a name taken from Being as 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 vel 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 esse to BE. The effect of it is expounded Rom. 11.36 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 For of him and through him and to him are all things to whom be glory for ever That he is from none for none by none but all things for him by him and from him and as his being is most so is his power Therefore he hath no promise in his title no commission as to be commanded of any as all earthly Princes have because his power is highest For earthly Princes fetch all their power from him Omnes Reges terrae ab a●to suam habent potestatem All the Kings of the Earth have their power from an other as by Commission as our Prince hath in his title Dei gratia Angliae c. By the Grace of God of England c. Therefore he is ab aliquo from some other only God hath no commission but is in himselfe without a supreame He onely may command simply he hath no dependance of any either of Being or Power but all things depend on him The force of the reason is Psal 104. v. 29.30 When thou hidest thy face they are troubled when thou takest away their breath they die and turne againe to their dust When thou lettest thy breath goe forth they shall be made and thou shalt renew the face of the earth And when he looketh not on us but turneth away his face yea when he breatheth not on us we come to nothing There the Prophet saith that streames proceed from his countenance as beames to every creature and if any of them be stopped that creature that it should come to dieth And verse 30. that he is the onely breath of all the world and that his breathing on the creatures giveth life and at the drawing in of his breath all perish Now if we would imagine of any man in the world that with his looking on us could preserve our lives and looking off us could destroy that had our life at such an advantage certainely we must be marvellous ready to please him And yet such is our dependance on God 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 He was The word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 he was as it hath two significations so it hath two uses in Scriptures significations First essence 2. The effect thereof 1. Use for his essence 2. To give effect to wit is essence Exod. 3.14 I am hath sent me to you He calleth himselfe I am Ero I shall be sent this And howsoever there be comparisons of him in time in respect of us yet in regard of his induring he is for ever without all time he is alwaies Ero shal be Revel 1.8 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 I am Alpha and Omega the beginning the ending saith the Lord which is which was and which is to come The Almighty The eternity of his essence even I am α Alpha and ω Omega the beginning and the ending which is which was which shall be Heb. 13.8 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The same yesterday to day and the same for ever And this taketh from us the hope that we may have of earthly Princes A man if he hath offended against an earthly Prince either he may escape by going out of his Dominions or by out-living him but there is no hope of escaping out of the Lords Dominion Psalm 34 7. The Angell of the Lord is round about them that feare him and delivereth them He pitcheth his Tent round about us he compasseth us as in a circle If we runne from one end of the world to the other we are still in his Dominion he can fetch us from any place So in respect of God we can be in no place but he will be with us Amos 9.2 Though they dig into hell thence shall mine hand fet them though they climbe up into Heaven thence will I bring them downe and though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel I will search and take them out thence And though they hide themselves from my sight in the bottome of the Sea thence will I command the Serpent and I will bite them Obadiah vers 4. If we should flie up as high as the Eagle and build our nest among the Starres c. for height for depth Amos in the depth of the Sea nay if they should dig to hell Psalm 139.7 Secondly Psalm 139.7 to last longer then the Prince So in respect of Gods being we cannot out-last him The time is infinite for his Name is Ero shall be and he shall alwaies be Ero shall be in time Therefore we must needs obey Secondly of his truth in bringing to effect that which he promiseth us Exod. 6.3 God said that Abraham and the Patriarkes knew him by the Name of Almighty not by that Name of Iehovah as yet i. One that is as good as his word Yet then shall my night be turned to day It is plaine Genes 15.6 that Abraham beleeved 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in Iehovah and it was counted to him for righteousnesse And God saith vers 7. I am Jehovah that brought thee out of Vr c. Yet God saith to Moses that the Patriarkes knew him not by Iehovah but by Almighty To reconcile these places we must understand that by Iehovah is meant here the bringing to effect this generall promise So long as God maketh a promise so long is he 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 my Lord or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 God c. but when he hath brought it to passe then he is Iehovah So the Patriarkes knew him Iehovah by some particular promise as Abraham in the birth of Isaac Noah in the delivery from the deluge Lot in the delivery from the destruction of Sodome but they never knew him by the Name of Iehovah in bringing to passe the greatest and generall promise of Canaan In this sence Ezek. 5.13 Thus shall mine anger be accomplished and I will cause my wrath to cease in them and I will be comforted and they shall know that I the
