He is mighty in strength and wisdom.
He is mighty in strength and wisdome.
The Original may be thus rendered strictly; He is mighty, the strength of heart: Now, the strength of the heart consists, first, in ⟨p. 175⟩courage; secondly, in wisdom; and hence we translate distinctly, He is mighty in strength and wisdom. Here are two points of Gods might according to our reading: He is mighty, First, in strength; Secondly, in wisdom. As before we had that Noble combination of Mightiness & Meekness in God, He is mighty and despiseth not any; so here we have another noble combination, in his mightiness, of strength and wisdom; He is mighty in strength and in wisdom. Some men are mighty in strength, who are weak in wisdom; others are mighty in wisdom, but not in strength; bo•h meet and are joined in God (in whom all things are but one, he being but an infinite simplicity, though they are acted diversly towards man, both these (I say) meet in God) and he equally excels in both.
