§. 94. Of the Throne of Grace.

THe place whither we are exhorted to come, is said to be A Throne of Grace. A Throne is a Chair of State, or Seat of Majesty. See Chap. 1. v. 8. §. 106. This is here Me•…•…onymically applied to God to set out his glorious Majesty.

It is styled a Throne of Grace, because Gods gracious and free favour doth there accompany his glorious Majesty. Majesty and mercy do there meet together. This was under the Law typified by the Ark. At each end thereof was an Angell to set out Gods glorious Majesty. The cover of it is styled a Mercy-seat, Exod. 25. 17, 18.

Of grace put for Gods favour, See Chap. 2. v. 9. §. 78.

The place of our approaching to God being a Throne of grace, it becomes us in approaching to him, duely to consider his Majesty and mercy: his greatnesse and goodnesse: and for this end to meditate on his glorious attributes and great works, which set forth his glory and Majesty; and also to call to minde his promises which declare his grace and mercy. See The Guide to go to God, or Explanation of the Lords Prayer, on the Preface §. 4, 6.
