Will require frequei»tly to be watered ; but they mu/l 
not have it in too large quantities, for tliey are very 
fubject to rot with much wet at any feafoa. Thofq 
roots ■which are not taken out of the pots in winter, 
fhould be tranfplanted and parted the beginning of 
March, before they put out new fibres or fialks, for 
they muft not be removed when they are in a growing 
■ftate ; the pots fliould not be too large ; for unlefs they 
are confined, they will not put out llrong ftalks ; the 
largeft roots may be planted in twopenny pots, but the 
fmail ones will require only pots of about five or fix 
inches'over at the top.

GLO'RIOUSLY, adv. Nobly ; fplendidly ; illiiftri-

GLO'RY, y. [from the Latin word Gloria.] Of 
this, Tully gives a juft definition. He fays it is “ Con- 
fentiens laiis bonorum, iiicorrupta vox bene judicantium 
de exceMente virtute,” Tufc.Difp. “The confentient 
praife of good men, the unbialfed voice of thofe who 
judge well concerning fuperior virtue.” Our own di¬ 
vine poet has well difcrimiuated real Glory and vain- 
Glory % 
Strength from Truth divided and from Juft, 
Illaudable, nought merits but difpraife 
And ignominy, yet to glory afpires 
Vain-glorious, and through infamy feeks fame. 
Milton's Par, L, vi. 381. 
In a figurative Tenfe the word Glory is applied to 
a luminous appearance in the Iky. Hence the elegant 
Tranflator of the Iliad, improving on his Original, in 
that fine night-piece at the end of the Eighth Book, 
fays, “A Flood of Glory burfts from all the Ikiei.” Pope. 
The laborious Cruden has colle^led the various ac¬ 
ceptations of Glory in the Holy Scriptures. There, 
Glory, is taken for worldly fplendour and magnifi¬ 
cence, which makes kings glorious before men. Mat. 
vi. 29. “Solomon in all his glory,” in all his 
luftre, and in his richeft ornaments, was not fo beauti- 
fill as a lily. Thus riches, authority, fiiraptuous build¬ 
ings and garments which men are ready to praife, and 
which makes their, poffeffion glorious before men, are 
called in Scripture glory. PJal. xiix. 16. “When 
THE GLORY OF THIS HoUSE IS' TSC R E A S E D . ” By 
GLORY is meant the “tongue,” which is that peculiar 
excellency, wherein chiefly, except reafon, man fur- 
palfes all other creatures. PsAL.xvi. 9. “Myheart 
IS GLAD, AND MY' GLORY REJOICETH;” my tOngUC 
breaks out into holy boaftings and praifes. So in 
PsAL. c. X. I will fing and give praife even “ with 
MY GLORY.” The GLORY of the king of Affyria is 
his fplendid princes, brave captains, valiant comman- 
tiers, and powerful armies, which would make a gallant 
fliew, and wherein he would glory, and boaft exceed, 
ingly. Isa. viii. 7. The Lord bringeth upon 
THEM THE KiNG OF ASSYRIA AND ALL HIBfi'LORY-” 
Glory is put for the ark of the covenant, which was

the great fafe-gnard and ornament of Ifrael, which tliey 
could glory in above all other nations, i Sam. iv. 21- 
The Glory is departed from Ifrael. Rom. ix. 4. “To 
whom pertaineth the glory.” Glory' is put for 
the Church, which Gob makes glorious, not only m 
his own eyes, but even in the eyes of the World, 
Isa. iv. 5. “Upon all teie glory fliall be a de¬ 
fence;” upon all holy affemblies of lincere Chriftians* 
It is put for grace, 2 Cor. iii. 18. “ We are changed 
into the fame image, from glor'y to glory.” 
The Apoftle calls man the image and glory of God, 
and for tliis reafon he “ aught not to cover his head 
that is, fince God would have the male fex to be a kind 
of reprefentation of his glory, majefty, and power, a 
man ought not, by hiding his face, wherein thefe things 
are moll: confpicuous, to conceal die Glory of God 
Alining in him. David calls God his Glo*.y. PsAL.iii. 
3. “ I'hou art my glory thou art the author of 
that royal dignity to which I am advanced : or, thou 
art the matter of my glorying, thou haft formerly given, 
and wilt further give me, occafion of glorying or boaft- 
ing of thy power and favour to me. Glory is taken for 
the unfpeakable bielTednefs, joy, and felicity, of the 
faints in heaven. Psa L. Ixxiii. *4. “ T hou (halt guide 
me with thy coiinfel, and afterwards receive me to 
G LORY.” God proinifes to be to his Church “ a Wall 
of Fire round about, and the glory' in the raidft 
Zech. ii. 5, that he would protedt his Church, and that 
his prefence and power fliould make her glorious. It 
is put for the prefence of God, PsAL.lxiii. 2. When 
the Ifraelites forfook God in the Wildernefs, “ they 
changed their glory into the fimilitude of an Ox that 
eateth grafs.” Psal. cvi. 30. They changed their 
glory ; that is, their God, who was indeed their glory, 
into the golden image of an ox or calf. Jofluia fpeak- 
ing to Achan fays, “ Give glory to God,” Josh. vii. 
19. Confefs the truth, and afcribe unto God the glory 
of his omnifcience in knowing thy fin, and of his juf¬ 
tice in punifliing thee according to thy defert. When 
God thought fit to call his fervant Mofes to himfelf, 
be diredted him to go up to Mount Abarim, and die 
there, Num. xxvii. 12, &c. Mofes hereupon defired 
of God, that he would provide a man who fliould be 
fet over the multitude. The Lord therefore com¬ 
manded him to take Jofhua the fon of Nun, faying, 
“ He is a man who is filled with the fpirit, lay thine 
hand upon him, and give him a charge in the prefence 
of the multitude, and put fome of thine honour [in 
Hebrew, of thy glory or splendour] upon him.” 
The queftion is, what glory this was, that Mofes 
communicated to Joftiua. Onkelos, and fome of the 
Rabbins, are of opinion, that Mofes imparted to him 
fome of that luftre which appeared upon his counte¬ 
nance, after the converfatiou which he liad been admit¬ 
ted to with God. Mofes, they fay, Ihined like tj|-e 
fun, and Jo.fhua like the moon : this was a weak and 
borrowed brightnefs. But it is to be underftood of that 
authority and empire wliereof he flood in need for the 
government of the people. Mofes laid his hands on 
him, and by this ceremony appointed him for his fue- 
ceflbr in the condu6t of the Ifraelites; He gave him 
his orders and inftrudlions, that he might acquit himfelf. 
with honour in this employment. 
The glory of God. —Mofes earneftly begged of 
God to (hew him his glory. Exod. xxxiii. 18. “ I 
befeech thee, fhew me thy glory';” tJiat is, the high, 
eft manifeftation of thy divine glory that 1 am capable 
of; or that glorious Ihape, which, togetlier with an hu- 
man voice, thou haft now aflumed. “ The heavens de¬ 
clare the g lory' of God.” PsAL.xix.'i. I'he vifible 
heavens afford matter and occalion, in refpeft of their 
vaft extent, glorious furniture, and powerful influenceSs 
to acknowledge and admire the glorious Being, infinite 
power, wifdom, and goodnefs, ot Goo. “The glory
