1. There are the Authors of them, which on the one side is said to be God; as God did from his own, that is God the Creator, or God as Creator; on the other, He, [Greek or Hebrew], the same with [Greek or Hebrew], Chap. 3. vers. 3. that is He of whom we speak, as the Apostle declares himself, vers. 13. for in these words a transition is made unto his treating of the Person of Christ.

2. The works of the one and the other are expressed. The works of the Creator are [Greek or Hebrew], his proper works, his own works, the works of the old Creation, [Greek or Hebrew]. And there are the works of him of whom he speaks, [Greek or Hebrew], his works, those which he wrought in like manner as God did his own at the beginning; that is the work of building the Church. For these works must answer each other, and have the same respect unto their Authors; they must be good and complete in their kind, and such as Rest and Refreshment may be taken in, and on them. To compare the sins and sufferings of men with the works of God, our Apostle did not intend.
