In the present text it may have all these intendments; for is it not a wonderful thing, that God should be gracious to poor creatures? is it not strange that he should take so much pains with, and exercise so much patience towards them? Secondly, Lo, God worketh all these things; He is ready to do them, he waiteth to be gracious, or to magnify his grace in doing them. Thirdly, Lo, God worketh all these things; is not this a matter of great consideration, ought we not to sit down and weigh it well? Fourthly, Lo, all these things worketh God; certainly God hath and will work all these things; this is a truth out of all question, a truth of ⟨p. 462⟩which there is no doubt to be made. As the Apostle saith (1 Tim: 3.16.) Without controversy, great is the mystery of Godliness, God was manifest in the flesh; So I may say without controversy, great is this mystery of Gods manifesting himself to frail flesh, and doing all these things here spoken of, awakening the consciences of men by dreams, and working upon them by grievous sicknesses, sending an interpreter one of a thousand to declare unto man his uprightness, and at last delivering his soul from going down into the pit. Lo, all these things worketh God.
