Such an Harmony as that intended there is in the whole mystery of God. For it is the most curious effect and product of divine Wisdom; And it is no impeachment of the Truth of it, that it is not discernible by humane Reason. A full comprehension of it no creature can in this world arise unto. Only in the contemplation of Faith, we may arrive ⟨p. 62⟩unto such an understanding Admiration of it, as shall enable us to give Glory unto God, and to make use of all the parts of it in practice as we have occasion. Concerning it the Holy man mentioned before cried out, [Greek or Hebrew]; O unsearchable contrivance and operation! And so is it expressed by the Apostle, as that which hath an unfathomable depth of Wisdom in it, [Greek or Hebrew], &c. O the Depth of the Riches both of the Wisdom and Knowledge of God; how unsearchable are his ways and his Judgments past finding out, Rom. 11.33, 34, 35, 36. see to the same purpose, Eph. 3.8, 9, 10.
