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

1. He worketh irresistibly: He worketh so, as none can hinder him: All the united Wisdom, Power of Men, of Angels, cannot stop him at his Work. The mighty King Nebuchadnezzar was taught this Truth, when he was grazing among the Beasts, Dan. 4.35. He doth according to his will in the Armies of Heaven, and among the Inhabitants of the Earth, and none can stay his Hand. Mark, He doth what he will, and none can stay his Hand; the Prayers of his People have sometimes stayed his Hand, when he was going to slay and destroy, but it was because out of his Grace he stayed it himself. Alas, what Creature can see, or know, or reach his Hand, that is invisible and omnipresent, Isa. 48.10. My Counsel shall ⟨p. 134⟩stand, and I will do all my Pleasure. The Counsels of Men do not always stand, he makes them to fail and fall: He bringeth the Counsels of the Heathen to naught, and maketh the Devices of the People of none effect, Psal. 33.10 But none can make his Counsel void, or his Devices invalid.
