1. Hence we may gather the marvellous glory of the Lord, in his power, greatness, wisdom, providence sovereignty, and eternity, Job 12. 8. His power in being able to make so mighty a creature: he must needs have a mighty Arm, Psal. 89. 11. 13. His greatness, in that he is bigger then the Heavens and the Earth, seeing they are the work of his hands, Job 11. 9. His wisdom, that he could find out such a secret way of founding so vast a creature, Pro. 3. 19. & 8. His providence is most manifest in that so mighty a creature can abide; which it could never do, if it were not upheld by the Word of his power, 2. Pet. 3. 5. and his sovereignty is matchless, he is a great King above all Kings: for he alone is the Lord of the whole earth: Never any King was King of the whole Earth but he, so as all the Earth and the fullness thereof belongs to him, and he hath the highest and absolutest right over all things in the Earth, Psalm 47. 7. Mich. 4. 13. Zach. 4. ult. finally, hence is proved the Eternity of God, he made the Earth, and therefore was before the foundations of it, and if he could make a creature that lasts so long, how everlasting is he himself, Psal. 102. 25. 26.
