7. As when sparks fly from the anvil by blows of a ponderous hammer, so
the lightning attends the thundering strokes of Jehovah. Flames of fire attend
the voice of God in the Gospel, illuminating and melting the human heart: by
these he consumes our lusts and kindles in us a holy flame of ever-aspiring
love and holiness. Pentecost is a suggestive commentary upon this verse.
