The holy Prophet, in the Book of the aProverbs, poseth all such as have not learned wisdom, nor known the knowledge of the holy, with this question? Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his Name, and what is his SONS name, if thou canst tell? To help us herein, the SON Himself did tell us, when he was ⟨p. 2⟩here upon earth, that bNone hath ascended up to heaven, but he that descended from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And that we might not be ignorant of his name, the prophet Isaiah did not long before foretell, that cUnto us a child is borne, and unto us a Son is given; whose name should be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of peace.
