;;7. The perfect righteousnesse of the man Christ the free imputing whereof unto beleevers turneth greatly to Gods glory. Isa. 40. 5. The glory of the Lord shall be revealed.

;;8. Felicity in heaven, or life eternal, which consists in the participation of Gods glory, Luk. 24. 26. Rom. 5. 2. And … under the hope of the glory of God.
Forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God, 1 Cor. 11. 7. The Hebr. foreign, signifies both glory and beam (the beams of the Sun being so glorious, that all glory is described by them, and is rendred both by foreign, and one of them, may be here taken for another, glory for beam or irradiation; such a beam, which flowing from another, derived from another, implyes that from whence it flows to be more honourable. … else the word may signifie similtude, likenesse, in both places of this verse, for so it is used by the Septuagint, Numb. 12. 8. & Psal. 17. 15. And so here it will agree with foreign, the man is the image and similitude of God, and the woman of the man. Id. Annot. b.
And come short of the glory of God. Rom. 3. 23. The word foreign, glory, or praise, being here joyned with foreign, of God, signifies not that glory which accrues to God, the glorifying, or praising of his …, but that which acrues to man from God, and that may be either in this world, or in the next; the … and acceptance of any work here, Joh. 12. 44. & 5. 44. or the reward of it hereafter; and so it seems to … here, that reward which belonges to … obedience, in which boasting is founded, v. 27. and to which grace, as it signifies pardon of sins, is opposed, vers. 24. and therefore of this all men are said to come short, who are found to be sinners, in the beginning of the vers. Dr. Ham. Annot. g.
To give glory to God]
;;To acknowledge God the searcher of all hearts, and just avenger of … wickednesse, by … plainly what thou hast done. Josh. 7. 19. My Son give glory to the Lord of Israel.

The glory of God is two … to be considered: either as it is … in himselfe, which none can conceive as it is, (therefore Moses must see … the back parts of God) Exod. 34, 22, 23. nor change it, to cause it not to be wha it is, for it is un changeable, as himself is. Mal. 3. 6. I … not, saith Jehovah. Or else with reference unto us, to wit, that worship and honour which reasonable creatures yeeld to their Creator. This may be conceived, for it is revealed in the word, also, it may be changed (without diminution to God) though not without contumely and reproach to him; and that two dayes, either by giving divine honour to such things as by nature are no Gods as the Romans and Aegyptians did to men and beasts. Secondly, by representing and worshiping God by Images and similitudes of creatures.
Glory of God]
;;His glorious presence, testified by some visible signe, like unto that, Exod. 40. 34. 35. Rev. 15. 8. And the Temple was full of the smoak of the glory of God. The presence of God in and with his Church now under the Gospel, though it be with more brightnesse of knowledge, and more plentifull graces then it was under the Law, yet is it obscure in respect of that revelation which the Saints shall enjoy in heaven. Withall, this smoak of Gods glory in the Temple, may import, that howsoever Gods glorious presence with his Church, now be manifest enough, yet the wicked cannot see it, as if their eye-sight were darkned with smoak, which lastly, may shew forth his anger (usually signified in Scripture by smoak) against such enemies.
;;2. The brightnesse of God (for divine brightnesse) immediately communicated unto the Saints in heaven, who shall have so exceeding great light from the most perfect presence of God, and Christ the Lamb, as they shall need neither Sun, Moon or Star. Rev. 21. 23. For the glory of God did light it. Also vers. 11. Having the glory of God; that is, most admirable, divine, and celestial glory. Some do understand this of a most glorious divine brightnesse of Gods presence, as withall they restrain it to the ages of the Church, which shall be next afore the end of the world. Both may be understood; the one, as a sorerunner and preparation to the other.
