A treatise of the incomparableness of God in his being, attributes, works and word…

God would here denote the exactness and accurateness of his Works, and so he alludes to men, who when they would set up a strong, stately, neat, compact Dwelling, lay the Foundations and corner Stones, and all the rest by line and measure: But that which God would principally intimate here, is his own Omnipotency, and mans Impotency: Where wast thou, when I laid the Foundations of the Earth? &c. Didst thou then lend me an helping-Head how ⟨p. 111⟩to do it, or an helping-Hand in the doing of it? Surely No, I did all my self. Those innumerable Beings which are on Earth, and in the Ocean; yea, that are included within the vast Circumference of the highest Heavens, are all made by him out of nothing: Through Faith we believe that the Worlds were made by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things that do appear, Heb. 11.3. The great God had no materials to make the great House with, he did not frame it of his own Essence, or any pre-existent matter, Isa. 45.12. Yet such admirable qualities are every where intermixed, matter and form, subject and and accidents, power and goodness, wisdom and order; a rare symmetry, exact proportion, and beauty in the whole; a dependent subordination, and useful subserviency, in every part so equally poised, that it's hard to determine which bears the greatest weight in the mighty work, and gives abundant cause to cry out with the Psalmist, O Lord, how marvellous are thy Works! in Wisdom hast thou made them all, Psal. 104.24.
