Fourthly, We may see in the Heavens the unchangeableness of God. If he hath made the Heavens of such a lasting nature, that they have continued many thousand years without alteration; surely then he himself hath continued and will continue for ever without change, as he is at this day. The unchangeableness of God infinitely exceeds that of the Heavens. We find the Spirit of God by holy David infinitely preferring the God of Heaven, before the Heavens •f God, in his unchangeableness (Psal. 102.26, 27.) Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the Earth, and the Heavens are the •o•k of thy hands; they shall perish, but thou shalt endu•e; yea, all of them shall wax old l•ke a garment, and as a vesture shalt thou cha•ge •hem, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same. The Heaven• have but a shadow of unchangeableness, compared with God, W•th whom is no variableness nor shadow of changing.
