The power of God made the mountains and created the hills; the same power removes mountains, and turns them upside down. It argues as great a power to destroy the world as to settle the world. As the Apostle shows what divinity the Gentiles might have learned in that great book of the worlds creation (Rom. 1.20.) The invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things which are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; So we may say on the other side, The invisible things of him from the confusions which are in the world, are clearly seen; or, ⟨p. 177⟩they may be understood by the things which are removed and changed, in these you may read his eternal power and God-head. When God breaks the laws and course of nature, he shows his power as well as when he settled the laws and course of nature. He shows his power when he lets the sea out of it's place to overflow the earth, as well as when he bounded the sea, that it shall not overflow the earth. Some things are with far less power destroyed, then made, removed then settled, but no power can destroy the world, but that which made it, or suddenly remove a mountain, but that which settled it. The power of God must be acknowledged in altering as well as in ordering the natural course or constitution of the creature.
The power of God made the mountains and created the hils; the same power removes mountains, and turns them upside down. It argues as great a power to destroy the world as to settle the world. As the Apostle shews what divinity the Gentiles might have learned in that great book of the worlds creation (Rom. 1.20.) The invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things which are made, even his eternall power and Godhead; So we may say on the other side, The invisible things of him from the confusions which are in the world, are clearly seen; or, ⟨p. 177⟩they may be understood by the things which are removed and changed, in these you may read his eternall power and God-head. When God breaks the laws and course of nature, he shews his power as well as when he setled the laws and course of nature. He shews his power when he lets the sea out of it's place to overflow the earth, as well as when he bounded the sea, that it shall not overflow the earth. Some things are with farre lesse power destroied, then made, removed then setled, but no power can destroy the world, but that which made it, or suddenly remove a mountain, but that which setled it. The power of God must be acknowledged in altering as well as in ordering the naturall course or constitution of the creature.
