1Thirdly, Shaddai is he who hath not only enough for himself, ⟨p. 135⟩but for all others; the five wise Virgins had Oil in their Lamps, and they had enough for themselves, but they had none to spare, they could not furnish the five foolish Virgins. But the Lord God Almighty hath strength and wisdom for all that come to him, and call upon him: As he is self-sufficient, so he is all-sufficient; his Ocean can quickly fill all our empty Vessels, and his treasury supply and bear all our charges. This Almighty God, who hath power to do what he pleaseth, who hath all this power in himself, and who hath power enough to give out to all that need, and ask it of him; this is the Almighty, against whom the wicked man strengthens himself.
