§. 68. Of Gods power over plagues.
IIII. *GOD hath an absolute power over plagues. Suddenly, as soon as he will he can restrain them, and keep them from devouring any more. As he can say to the sea, Hitherto shalt thou come, and no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed: so can be say to the 2pestilence, So long shalt thou continue, and no longer: so many shalt thou destroy, and no more. bDid not the Lord before hand threaten to send a plague upon Israel in Davids time three days: and answerably it continued till the time appointed? But when the wrath of the Lord was pacified, the plague was stayed. cDid he not remove the plagues from Egypt, so soon as Moses prayed unto him? This power of the Lord over plagues and diseases, was visibly manifested in the Son of God, while he lived on earth. For he spake the word, and they went away: which the Centurion well observing, said to Christ, dSpeak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
