2. It was a Miracle that God for our sakes should create the world, and after our fall in Adam, that God should preserve the world, especially considering that our sin had unpinned the whole frame of the Creation; and that God even then sitting on his Throne of Judgment, ready to pass the doom of death for our first Transgression, should unexpectedly give a promise of a Saviour, when justly he might have given us to the devil, and to Hell, according to his own Law,1 In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt dye the death.
