Now there are greater and more evident Impressions of Divine Excellencies left on the written Word, from the infinite Wisdom of the Author of it, than any that are communicated unto the Works of God in the Creation of the World. Hence David comparing the Works and Word of God, as to their instructive Efficacy, doth prefer the Word incomparably before them(c). And these do manifest the Word to our Faith to be his, more clearly than the other do the Works to be his to our Reason, &c. God, as the immediate Author of the Scriptures, hath left in the very Word it self evident Tokens and Impressions of his Wisdom, Prescience, Omniscience, Power, Goodness, Holiness, Truth, and other divine infinite Excellencies, ⟨p. xvi⟩sufficiently evidenced unto the enlightened Minds of Believers, &c.
Now there are greater and more evident Impressions of Divine Excellencies left on the written VVord, from the infinite VVisdom of the Author of it, than any that are communicated unto the VVorks of God in the Creation of the VVorld. Hence David comparing the VVorks and VVord of God, as to their instructive Efficacy, doth prefer the VVord incomparably before them(c). And these do manifest the VVord to our Faith to be his, more clearly than the other do the VVorks to be his to our Reason, &c.
