I could add more reasons for the demonstration of Gods Omnipotency; (viz.) 1. The Creation of the world, wherein that which was not at all was immediately formed into a being, and that formation depended only upon his Word. 2. The providential upholding, or sustentation of the whole world, and guidance, of every creature in every motion. 3. The wonderful works wrought by God, exceeding all created power. 4. And the Conversion of the hearts of sinners; but those already mentioned are satisfying and sufficient to our purpose.
