I passe to the second exposition of these wordes, _O praise God in his
sanctitie_, so _Munster_, _Pagninus_, _Beza_, _Tremelius_ and our old
translation heere, _Praise God in his holinesse_: now God is holy
_formaliter & effectiue_, holy in himselfe, and making other holy; the
Lord is glorious in holinesse Exod. 15. 11. Wheras other Gods are famous
for their vnholinesse, _Venus_ was a wanton, _Mercurius_ a theefe,
_Iupiter_ a monsterous adulterer, an ingenious man (as[bd] _Basile_
writes) would blush to report that of beastes, which the Gentiles haue
recorded of their Gods. If such imputations are true saith
[be]_Augustine_, _quam mali_ how wicked are these Gods: if false _quam
male_ how wretched and foolish are these men, adoring the same things
in the temple, which they scoffe at in the theater, _in turpitudine[bf]
nimium liberi, in superstitione nimium serui_: so that their Gods are
not as our God, euen our enemies being Iudges Deut. 32. 31. there is
none holy as the Lord 1. Sam. 2. 2. called[bg] often in holy Scripture
_the holy one_, yea thrice holy; _holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of
hosts_ Esay. 6. 3. his [bh]name is holy, his [bi]law is holy, his
[bk]spirit is holy, his will holy, his word holy, _righteous in all his
waies, and holy in all his workes_ Psalm. 145. 17. making vs also which
are his seruants an _holy people_ Deut. 7. 6. an _holy priest-hood_
1. Pet. 2. 5. _his holy temples_ 1. Cor. 6. 19. our bodies, our soules,
our selues, our whole [bl]seruice holy, wherefore _praise God in his
holinesse_.
