Exodus 6

We can mourn as doves, but not pray or praise God. We are so discomposed that we are not fit to hearken to any good counsel (Exodus 6:9). Israel were so full of grief under their present burdens, that they minded not what Moses said, though he came with a message from God to the…

'You have always suspected,' says carnal reason, 'that you were a child of wrath and that you and God were enemies; but now you find it put out of question, and that from God's own mouth, who speaks grievous things against you; you have it also under his own hand, for lo he writ…

The third direction I give to such is that they keep and lend one ear as well to hear and consider what makes for their comfort as to what may make against them. This direction meets with a great infirmity of such as are in distress, who through Satan's temptations have their he…

In opposition to all these gods, and renunciation of them, Melchisedec professed himself the priest of the most High God; as Paul preached at Athens the unknown God in opposition to all their known [⟨in non-Latin alphabet⟩], or idols whom they supposed themselves acquainted with…

Therefore the Apostle on this occasion mentions him by his name, He who was promised of old that he should come, upon whose coming the faith of the Church was built, by whom and at whose coming they expected the last revelation of the will of God, and consequently a change in th…

She will admit no comfort, her disease is curable by no other means but the restoration of her children; give her them again and she will be quiet, else you speak into the air, she regards not whatever you say. Thus Israel in the cruel bondage in Egypt, Moses brings them the gla…

Not that the day of Judgment shall shortly approach and come soon after the Ascension of Christ, but because that after this preaching of the Gospel of Christ, there should be none other: And that we should not look for any further revelation, or more manifestation of grace, tha…

And they principally respected these three heads. First, That they should possess the Land of Canaan, and there enjoy that worship which he had prescribed to them (see Exodus 6:4; chapter 34:10, 11; Leviticus 26:8, 9; Deuteronomy 18:18; chapter 29:13; Psalm 105:10, 11). Secondly…

7. Adherence to God (Deuteronomy 10:20). 8. To swear by the name of God (Exodus 6:13; Deuteronomy 10:20). 9. To walk in the ways of God (Deuteronomy 28:9).

Neither does God call us to trust in any name of his however declared, or revealed, unless he gives it us in an especial manner, by way of covenant to rest upon. So he speaks, Exodus 6:3. I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and to Jacob () in the name of God Almighty, but by my…

This is the first expression, whereby God did ever show himself in his Essence. God has before made himself known by his All-sufficiency, (Exodus 6:3). I appeared to Abraham; to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH, was I not known to them.

The Saints Purgatory is in this life. But there are two things may bear up their Spirits. 1. Every Groan of theirs goes to Gods Heart, Exodus 6:7. I have heard the Groanings of the Children of Israel.

A person fainting under afflictions and troubles, is wholly unable to [reconstructed: receive] any means to support him. So here, when men's thoughts are hurried with apprehension of evil, which in the most dreadful manner are presented to their view, and their hearts possessed…

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, whose faith God tried above most of his Saints before or since, for not one of those great things which were promised to them, did they live to see performed in their days; and how does God make known himself to them for their support, but by displaying…

Now the people and Levites, and house of David were never so multiplied in the Jews, after the deliverance from Babylon, and therefore must be extended to the New Testament. And if God establish David's seed forever (Psalm 89:4) and the seed of his people shall possess the gates…

For godly sorrow is always mixed with — indeed proceeds from — faith, which, in the apprehension of mercy, yields matter of joy to dilute the bitterness of our tears. But if we have no hearts to pray, if our sorrow makes us spiritually both dumb, so that we cannot speak to God,…

Eccles. 11:2. Give a portion to seven and also to eight, that is, distribute your charity to many; and which is nearest to this (Job 40:5), Once have I spoken, but I will not answer: yea twice, but I will proceed no further; that is, I have had several discourses with my friends…

Conceive of this thus: God in Christ is the complete object of faith under a double notion; first as sufficient, in being all we want to us; secondly, as efficient, in communicating all to us, and doing all for us. In the first respect, he is Elshaddai, in his promise; in the se…

By his works of creation, and government of the world, of redemption, etc. Thus the Lord revealed himself to Moses (Exodus 6:14), I AM has sent me to you: that is, one which has his being in himself, and of himself, that gives being to all creatures by creation, and continues th…

Q. 5. What are the names of God? A. Glorious titles, which he has given himself, to hold forth his excellencies to us, with some perfections, whereby he will reveal himself. (Exodus 3:14, 15; Exodus 6:3; Exodus 34:6, 7; Genesis 17:1.) Q. 6. What are the attributes of God?
