First, In reference to the power of God; he can do many such things as these, he can do what he hath done, his arm is not shortened.
First, In reference to the power of God; hee can doe many such things as these, he can doe what he hath done, his arme is not shortned.
Secondly, In reference to his own deservings; many sins are with me; and therefore I have reason enough to suspect, that many more sorrows are appointed for me. I may need more humbling and refining, and therefore it is like I shall have it, and that another furnace is heating for me. In how holy a frame was the spirit of this good man! He justifieth God in all that he had done, and he was ready to submit (though it made his flesh fear and tremble at the thought of it, as he confesseth it did in the next verse; yet I say, he was ready to submit) to whatsoever God would yet do, knowing that he could, and being much persuaded that he would do much and many things more then he had done yet. For (saith he) Many such things are with him.
