Our Redemption by Jesus Christ, who is called Wonderful; 2. the Salvation of Noah in the Ark; 3. the Faith of Abraham in Offering up Isaac; 4. the Patience of Job; 5. the Providences of God towards the Nation and People of the Jews; 6. the pouring out of the Spirit upon the Apostles; 7. the Conversion of Paul.
