Q. Whence does it appear that God is more excellent than all things?
A. It appears that God is more excellent than all things: First, From his Almightiness. Secondly, From his Eternity. Thirdly, From his Happiness or Blessedness. For the Scriptures declare him to be Almighty, and to be Eternal, and to be Happy or Blessed.
[God is called by the Name of The Almighty, Job 40.1, 2. Moreover, the Lord answered Job and said; Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty, instruct him? He that reproveth God, let him answer it, Job 37.23. Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out; he is excellent in Power and in Judgment, and in plenty of Justice. So elsewhere often.
He is also called, The Almighty God, Gen. 17.1. I am the Almighty God. And elsewhere often also, The Lord Almighty,
