Yea, the Ocean, that is such a frightful Monster, which makes such an horrible Noise, and openeth its Mouth, roaring and raging, as if it would certainly devour us, is quelled and quieted with ease by him, Job 38.8, 9, 10, 11. When the Sea was tempestuous, and frighted the Disciples, that they awake the Lord Jesus; with what ease doth he cause a Calm, Peace, be still, Matth. 8.27. (As a Mother would still a crying-Child, Hush, be quiet, peace, no more, be still,) and immediately there was a Calm.

4. He worketh wholly by his own Power, without the least help from any other: Creatures are all Instruments, and act in the virtue of the principal Efficient. Angels and Men act not in their own, but in the strength of God; they have not some help from God, but all the Power by which they work, from God: But God acteth wholly in his own strength, he never had, nor desired an helping-hand from any of his Creatures.
