The works of George Swinnock, M.A

They who know the infiniteness, and immensity of his being, cannot but despise all things for him, esteem all things as nothing to him, as nothing without him, look on the whole creation, as less then nothing in comparison of him. Ah what admiring, reverent thoughts of that being of beings, of him whose name is, I am, have they who launch a little (for 'tis but a little that they can here) into this Ocean! All Nations before him are as nothing, and they are counted to him less then nothing and vanity; they canno• but desire and labour to enjoy so boundless a portion.

They who know the power of God, cannot but fear him, and stand in awe of his presence and threatenings; They fear him who is able to cast soul and body into hell, ¹Heb. 12. 27, 28. They will depend on him, because there is no want which the Almighty cannot supply, no weakness which he ⟨p. 803⟩cannot remove, no danger which he cannot prevent or support in. Acquaintance with him who is mighty in strength, makes the Christian resolute in Gods cause, and as bold as a Lion at his call and command.
