Fourthly, §4in such times of difficulty, Gods glorious hand is more apparently seen, and so all the honour is ascribed unto him. If Moses had brought the Israelites out of Egypt by force of arms, being aided with two or three millions of soldiers, much of the praise would have been given unto them: but when Moses was naked and altogether destitute of any power of man, the Lords mighty Arm was more clearly seen in the deliverance of his people, and the subversion of their enemies. And that work of his, hath been, is, and shall be memorable in all ages.

So also, if Hezekiahs sicknesse had beene such as anie Physitian could haue cured, his recouerie should neuer aue beene recorded in Gods booke, as not making so much for his glorie: but when the prolonging of his ife was as much as the giuing of a second life, then notice of it was taken and giuen by the holie Ghost, to the euerlasting honour of Gods name. And as it was then, so is it yet still, and euer shall be to the end of the world: the greater the extremities and necessities of the Saints bee, wherein God doeth relieue them, and out of which hee doth deliuer them, the more will it be for the magnifying of his omnipotencie, and of his tender mercie therein expressed.
