This word also showeth the goodness and mercy of God towards the people which put their trust in him. Howe he made them terrible to their enemies: how he made their enemies their footstool: how he led them safe thorough the red Sea: how he sent his Angel to go before them, and guide them: how he gave them water out of a rock, and rained down bread from Heaven: how he brought them into a Land that flowed with Milk and Honey, and sware unto them, that he would be their GOD, and they should be his people.

In this word, are to be seen wonderful and strange works of God, ⟨p. 192⟩such as are beyond the course of nature, and pass the reason of man. That the Sea parted, and stood on both sides as a high wall: that at the word of Joshua, the Sun stood still, and went not on his course:1 Hezekiah spake the word and required it,2 and the Sun went back ten degrees. At the word of Elijah, fire came down from heaven to consume his sacrifice. Here may you see an Ass open his mouth and speak, & reprove his Master: three servants of God walk in a hot burning furnace without hurt: Daniel in the den among Lions and not devoured: Peter in the raging Sea and not drowned: Lepers cleansed: the lame to go: the dumb to speak: the deaf to hear: the blind to see: the dead to rise out of their graves and live: simple and unlearned men to speak in strange tongues: the devil to go out of the possessed, and to say, I know thou art Christ the Son of God.
