¹Will he plead against me with his great power? or strictly to the Letter, with the multitude of his power, with the forces of his power. The power of God is great, yea the power of God is greatest, all his power is almighty power, yet God doth not always put forth the greatness of his power; He is a most free agent, and so can restrain and hold in his own power, when he pleaseth, and not use it to the terror of a poor creature, or plead against him with it.
