Secondly, The power of God appears in this, that the Lord doth the greatest, and the most difficult things, as easily as he doth the least and the easiest; as thus, God makes the whole world as easily as he can make a crumb of dirt; God can make the Heavens, Sun, Moon and Stars, and all the Seas and Earth, with as much ease as he can make a fly. God ⟨p. 22⟩can make ten thousand Angels, as soon as he can make one worm. And therefore God, he can as soon speak the word to the soul of a man that is dead,1 to live, he can as soon raise a•l the dead out of their graves, as he can give them a piece of bread to eat while they are alive, such is the infiniteness of Gods operation.
