1. That he is able to answer this Design of God, viz. To save them to the uttermost Sin, the uttermost Temptation, &c. Heb. 7.25. Hence ⟨p. 16⟩he is said to lay help upon one that is mighty mighty to save: And hence it is again, That God did even of old promise to send his People a Saviour, a great one, Psal. 9.16. Isa 63 1. To save is a great Work, and calls for Almightiness in the Undertaker: Hence he is called, The mighty God, the wonderful Counsellor, &c. Sin is strong, Satan is also strong, Death and the Grave are strong, & so is the Curse of the Law; therefore it follows, that this Jesus must needs be by God the Father accounted Almighty, in that he hath given his Elect to him to save them, & deliver them from these, and that an despite of all their Force and Power.
