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

Having spoken in another Treatise to this particular, I shall here only offer two or three things to thy serious thoughts, and proceed to a third exhortation.

1. Consider, what is offered thee, when the incomparable God is offered thee for thy portion. And truly, to explain this head fully, would require the Pen, yea, exceed the skill of an Angel. None can tell what God is, but God himself. All the sheets in the explication of the Doctrine speak somewhat of him, but not the thousand thousandth part of that excellency that is in him. Reader, I may tell thee, when God is offered thee, the greatest good that ever was, that ever will be, that ever can be, is offered thee; there never was, or can be, the like offered thee; more than Heaven and Earth, than both Worlds, than Millions of Worlds, is offered thee. This God who is offered thee, is the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the God of Gods, the blessed and glorious Potentate, the first Cause, the original Being, Self-sufficient, All-sufficient, absolutely perfect, uncapable of any addition or diminution. This God who is offered thee, is the high and lofty one, that inhabiteth eternity every moment, to whom a thousand years, ⟨p. 268⟩yea millions of Ages are but as one day, as one moment, whose duration is uncapable of the least accession, who is boundless in his being, omnipotent in his power, unsearchable in his wisdom, unconceivable in his grace, and infinite in all his perfections. He dwelleth in that light that is inaccessible; before him Angels, the highest of creatures, veil their faces; to him the whole Creation is less than nothing and vanity. This God who is offered thee made all things of nothing, supports all things, influenceth all things, and is all things, and infinitely more than all things. He is so needful a good, that thou art undone without him. This was the misery of the Heathen on earth, Eph. 2.12. and of the damned in Hell, Math. 25.41. the very Hell of Hell. He is so plentiful a good that thou art perfectly happy in him,
