[Psal. 90.2. Before the Mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the Earth and the World; even from everlasting to everlasting thou art God. See Isa. 43.10. & 44.6. & 48.12. and elsewhere. He is from Everlasting, or from Eternity; or, as we express it, without beginning: Psal. 93.2. Thou art from Everlasting. In this ⟨p. 35⟩sense he is called, The Everlasting God; Isa. 40.28. He is to Everlasting, or to Eternity; or, as we express it, without Ending: He shall endure for ever, Psalm. 102.13. See Psal. 92.8. Hence he is said to be Uncorruptible, Rom. 1.23. Immortal, 1 Tim. 1.17. and alone to have Immortality, 1 Tim. 6.16. He is always the same, Psal. 102.26, 27. Heb. 1.11, 12.—They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; yea all of them shall wax old like a Garment, &c. But thou art the same, and thy Years shall have no end. Jam. 1.17. With the Father of Lights is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Mal. 3.6. I am the Lord, I change not.]
