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

It's apparent to common sense, that fallen man could never dream of such strict exact Precepts, no, he is so far from it, that he is wholly contrary thereunto, Rom. 8.7. And Angels could not imagine them, unless God had signified his mind to them. For all holiness being a conformity to the Will of the most high God, they could not discern what was holy, what was unholy, any farther then they could discover the Will of this incomparable God.

2. The mystery of its Doctrines: It containeth such Depths, such bottomless Profundities, that could not possibly have been imagined by Men or Angels, had not God revealed them. It acquainteth ⟨p. 169⟩us with things far above the reach of created Reason, (though not contrary) yet being told us are so correspondent, that there is no ground left for the questioning them. What the great Apostle saith upon occasion of one mystery, we may say upon the whole: O the Depth! O the Depth of the Wisdom and Knowledge of God! Rom. 11.33. O the Depth of the holy Scriptures! There is a Depth in them, that none can fathom, because a Depth in them that hath no bottom; Great is the mystery of the Bible: Who could think of a Woman's coming into the World without a Woman, as Eve; of a mans coming into the World without a man, as the Son of man; nay, without man or woman, as Adam? who could think that the same Woman should be a Mother & a Virgin? But these are small mysteries; who could think that many thousands, millions, living many Miles and Ages distant, should be fellow members, and be truly one Body, sympathising with, serviceable to, rejoicing in the welfare of each other; & all be united unto, receive influence from, and live wholly by one Head, as far from them as Heaven is from ⟨p. 170⟩the Earth?
