Almighty Power was seen in creating of the World, and his Power in conjunction with his Justice was seen, in casting the Angels that sinned, out of Heaven, and Man out of Paradise; and Divine Power, as it was joined with Divine Mercy, shone forth, in saving and delivering Israel at the Red Sea; but in Christ, the glory of his Power, Mercy and Justice, and all other of his glorious Attributes, are united together in sweet Harmony, to save and help all that by Christ come to him; nothing can hinder our Help and Succour, if we acknowledge and come to him in Jesus Christ.

We should acknowledge God manifested in the Flesh, 1 Tim. 3. 16. ⟨p. 22⟩not only that Christ is God, (as I before hinted) but the reason why he took unto him our Nature, and what things he hath wrought out for us; & how the glory of God shines forth in him.
We never acknowledge God in the Top Glory of his Wisdom, Mercy, Love, Power, Justice and Goodness, unless we acknowledge him in Christ; nor can we know him any other way to be our God, nor come to him, nor expect any Help, Relief, Pardon or Peace, from him: We must acknowledge what Christ is made of, God the Father unto us, even Wisdom and Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption: He is our Life, our Light, our Righteousness, our Strength, our Peace, our Food, our Guide, our King, to Rule us, our Priest, to Atone for our Sins, and to Intercede for us, and our Prophet to Teach us.
