240 GLORY OF THE LORD. or Inheritance ; and this fame Glory, prefented to tilt Eye of Faith, conduas the whole Ifrael of GOD to that Ipiritual Reft, which remaineth for them in Heaven. CHRISTwas the GOD of GLORY,* who appeared to Abraham : And Abraham rejoiced to fee his DAY, his Illumination, his Glory, and was glad. The Pfalmift, in one of his triumphant Hymns, tells us, That JEHOVAH is the King of Glory, even JEHOVAH SABAOTH.t Now, if there be not two Kings ofGlory, as indeed there cannot be in the Senfe of the Pfalmift ; whoever bears the Title of King, or (which is the fame) Lord of Glory, iS undoubtedly JEHOVAH SABAOTH.
