1First, consider, that he that made these great things, he that made the highest heavens, and those heavens that thou seest, he that made the earth, and the deep sea, he that made the wind, and the treasures of snow, and hail, he that made the Angels, he that wrought so many miracles, thou must think that he that doth these things can do the like: as he that hath made a fair picture or statue, he can make another; he that makes a fair house, you are ready to say, that he is able to build another. Look then upon his great works, and you will think that he is able to do the like. This is an argument very frequent in Scripture, when there is any occasion of expressing Gods great power to bring any thing to pass: as he that made heaven and earth, he that brought the children ⟨p. 179⟩of Israel out of Egypt, he that divided the red sea, he that wrought the wonders in Egypt before Pharaoh and all his host; and such like.
