3. His Works: All which in their whole tenure and contexture showed him to be God man. If at any time there appeared any evidence of humane weakness, least the World should be offended and stumble ⟨p. 36⟩thereat, he did at the same time give out some notable demonstrations of his divine power: when he lay in a manger at his birth a Star appeared, and Angels proclaimed his birth to the Shepherds: When he was swaddled as an Infant, the Wise men came and Worshipped him: When he was in danger of suffering Shipwreck, he commanded the Winds and the Waves, and they obeyed him: When he was tempted by Satan he was Ministered unto by Angels: Matth. 4.11. When they demanded Tribute for the Temple, a Fish brought it to him, Matth. 17.26. When he was deceived in the Fig-tree, (which was an infirmity of humane ignorance) he suddenly blasted it, discovering the glory of a divine power: When he hanged dying on the Cross, the Rocks were rent, the Graves opened, the Sun darkened, and all nature put into a rout. Though he humbled himself to purchase our Mercies, yet he assured our Faith by some emissions and breakings forth of his divine power: Well then, though it be our duty to seek and find out Gods track and foot print in the whole Creation, and to observe the impressions of his Wisdom, Goodness, and Power, in all the Saints; especially this is our duty to admire his Image in Jesus Christ; for his humanity, ⟨p. 37⟩the perfections of the Godhead shine forth in the highest lustre. What ever perfection we conceive to be in his Person, Word or Works, the same may we conclude to be in the Father also. Did the Winds and Seas obey Christ? The whole Creation is at the beck of God, did Christ show himself to be the wisdom, goodness and power of God, surely God is infinitely Wise! Was Christ Holy and undefiled, surely so is God, light in whom is no darkness at all: Was Christ Loving, Pitiful, and Compassionate, not abhorring the most vile and miserable, whether in Soul or Body, that came to him for relief, surely God is Love, and he will not be strange to those that seek him in Christ.
