Now to the first part, that God can help: this scripture is to be marked,¹ that saith, God is omnipotent, that is to wit, able to do all things. So said he to Abraham, when he eftsoons promised him the land of Canaan:² I am the God omnipotent, walk before me and be perfect. The same said Jacob, when Benjamin his young son, was so instantly desired by his brethren, to go into Egypt, when they lacked corn: My God omnipotent (said Jacob) can make the prince of Egypt favourable unto you. ³So did God tell Moses, that he was the Lord that appeared unto Abraham,⁴ Isaac, and Jacob, even the almighty God. The like is in the same book, when God had drowned Pharaoh and his hoaff:⁵ Moses gave thanks,⁶ and said, His name was almighty. ⟨image 48⟩Thus in the word of God we may learn every where, as well by his name, as by his most marvellous works: that he is omnipotent, and there is nothing impossible unto him.
