§. 80. Of the Lord Iehovah.

THe first words of the fore-named Profession are these, The Lord is my help∣er. Here are two emphatical words, which are of special force to strengthen our faith:

One is this proper title, The Lord, applied to God.
The other is this Epithete, Helper, attributed to him.

The former is the interpretation of the Hebrew word Iehovah, which is a Title proper and peculiar to God alone. It setteth out the Eternity, Self-existency, Im∣mutability, Fidelity, and sundry other Excellencies of God. We may with much confidence rest upon that which Iehovah, this LORD, undertaketh to do. If he be our helper we may be sure to want no help, wnatsoever our case be. He is both able and ready to do whatsoever he seeth needfull for us.

Of this Title Iehovah, See more Chap. 1. §. 128. See also The Churches Conquest on Exod. 17. 15. §. 72.
