4. Jesus Christ has done, does do, and will do such things, as none but the great God can do. He has done that which none but the great God can do. None but God can Create: Isa. 40.28 The Eternal God, the Creator of the Ends of the Earth. None but the great God is the Creator: But Christ is the Creator. There is is not any Creature in the world, but came out of his hands, it was made by him: Joh. 1.3 The world was made by him, and there was nothing made without him. All Creatures are either visible or invisible, belonging either to the upper or lower world, all of both those were made by Christ: Col. 1.16 He has Created all things that are in Heaven or on Earth, Visible and Invisible, by him and for him they were Created· So to be the Author of that which is a true and proper Miracle, is peculiar to God: Psal 136.4 He only does great Wonders. That God only who is the God of Nature, can change the course of Nature, and act above the Constituted order of Nature, when ever he shall please. But Christ has done glorious Miracles, and that by His own Power. The Jews had a marvellous expectation that when the Messiah came, he would do wonderful things; that he would be the Author of many Miracles. They had reason to expect it from the Scriptures of the Old Testament. And when ⟨p. 58⟩Christ came, some said, When the Messiah comes, shall he do more Miracles than this man does? He did such Miraculous things, the like was never done in the world before. Joh. 9.32 The man that had been Born blind, and was by Christ made to see, says, Since the world began it was never heard, that a man should open the Eyes of one born Blind. 'Tis true, the Apostles did Wonderful things, Miraculous things; but it was not they, but Christ by them that did them. Therefore Peter said to some, Acts 3.12 Why do you look on us, as though we had by our own Power done this. No, it was by virtue of the Power of Christ, that we did it says the Apostle· But when Christ did Miraculous things, they were done by him through his own Power. Therefore he said to the Leper, Mat. 8.3 I will be thou Clean. I will, none but the great God might speak such a word, or say I will that it shall be so. It shows, that Christ had an all Powerful Will; that he can do what ever he will do. And therefore He is the great God.

Therefore Peter said to some, Acts 3.12 Why do you look on us, as though we had by our own Power done this. No, it was by vertue of the Power of Christ, that we did it sayes the Apostle· But when Christ did Miraculous things, they were done by him through his own Power. Therefore he said to the Leper, Mat. 8.3 I will be thou Clean. I will, none but the great God might speak such a word, or say I will that it shall be so. It shews, that Christ had an all Powerful Will; that he can do what ever he will do. And therefore He is the great God.
