Moreover, the power of God, that is another Attribute, whereby we may conceive the same 1Argument, as before, when we go to God, and express our weakness, and his power; Lord, we are weak, we are able to do nothing, Lord, thou art almighty, thou madest heaven and earth, it is […] strong argument to prevail with him. So, we see, Asa prevailed with God, 2 Cron. 14. Oh Lord, 2saith he, it is all one with thee to help with many or few, and we rest upon thee: as if he should say, we are exceeding few, we are exceeding weak, we are able to do nothing, but thou art able to do it, with a few, as well as with a great multitude: there he puts them together. And the like we have of Jehosaph•t, Lord, we have no strength, to 3stand before our enemies, but our eyes are to thee. As if he should say, thou hast strength, and power enough, thou art able to do it, though we are unable. This is another Argument taken from the power of God.
