And truly this is an unspeakable comfort to the people of God, that their God 1is Lord of all, and Lord over all; that the Sovereignty is his alone, and the Dominion is only his, that their God is above all gods, and that their God is above all Lords, and that all the creatures in their whole being and working are under him; that if he saith to one Go, he goeth, and if he saith to another Come, he cometh; and if he say to one Do this, he doth it; and if he saith to another Be still, he ceaseth; this is a comfort unto you against all the wicked in the world, and as touching all the serviceableness of all the creatures in the World.
