It argues a want of power to be forced to do a thing, as well as not to be able to it. He that doth what he would not, is not able to do what he would. God is therefore able to do whatsoever he wills, because he never did, nor can be drawn to do any thing against his will. It follows then, That the Lord is so strong that he can do whatsoever names him strong, and only cannot do those things, which if he did, he must be weak, as was further showed at the fourth verse of this Chapter.
