Secondly, The greatness of Gods power is seen in this; that ⟨p. 340⟩He hath a right to do all that he doth. As he hath a fullness of strength, so a fullness of Authority; he doth not usurp or intrench upon any other power in what he doth, nor upon any mans property in what he hath; it is his due to do what he doth, and to have what he hath. God is supreme, giving the Law to all, receiving the Law from none; his is not a tyrannical, but a just and a righteous power; his is not a might without right, but a might with right. What the Prophet speaks of the Chaldeans (Hab. 1.7.) is true of God in every sense, in the strictest sense; His judgement and his dignity proceedeth of himself; he is a law unto himself, his rule is internal, and his power intrinsical. All derive power from him, therefore his power is altogether underived. Power underived must needs be great power, yea the Greatness of power.
