The most part of men consider generally,1 that God is the worker of miracles:2 the common sort of Christians consider, that God hath wrought miracles particularly upon others: but the very elects and Christians in deed, see the miracles of God wrought particularly upon others, and take consolation singularly of Gods mercies themselves. As we see this Prophet marvellously declareth Gods wonders, & putteth the general working of Gods ⟨image 119⟩miracles between a singular working of wonders: and a particular working of wonders.
