The Practice of Piety

2 Schaddai. ^*That is, Omnipotent. By this name God usually styled himself to the Patriarchs, I am Ell Schaddai, the strong God, almighty. Because he is perfectly able to defend his servants from all evil: to bless them with all spiritual and temporal blessings, and to perform all his promises, which he hath made unto them for this life, and that ⟨p. 16⟩which is to come.

This may teach us with the Patriarchs, to put our whole confidence in God, and not to doubt of the true performance of his promises.
