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

In the Work of Creation, he erected this curious large Fabric without any Tool or Instrument, Isa. 44.24. I am the Lord that made all things, that stretcheth forth the Heavens alone, that spreadeth abroad the Earth by my self. Mark, he made the Heavens alone, had none with him to assist him; and he made the Earth by himself, called none from Heaven to his Aid. As he said to Job, Where wast thou when I laid the Foundations of the Earth? declare, if thou hast understanding, Job 38.4. Thou wast far enough off from giving any help; so he may say to Angels, Where were ye when I stretched out the Heavens? declare, if ye have understanding. ⟨p. 148⟩Some give that reason why they are not mentioned in the Creation of the World, in the first of Genesis, to assure us, that God did not use their help in his Work. The Heavens are compared to a Curtain, Psal. 104. and •o a Tent, Isa. 40.22. Now we know that when Curtains or Tents that are very large, are to be stretched out, as the phrase is in that, Isa. 44.24. there needs many Hands to it, one hand will not do it, many pair of hands must be put to it; but God spreadeth out those wide large Curtains of Heaven alone, Job 9.8. He borrowed not one hand to it: Hast thou with him spread out the Sky, which is strong as a molten Looking-Glass, Job 37.18. Was God beholden to thee for affording him thine Arms in the unfolding and spreading that broad vast piece.
