And so after he entered on his public Ministry, his marvellous Humility and Meekness was manifested in his choosing to appear in such mean outward Circumstances, and in being so contented in them, when he was so Poor that he had not where to lay his Head, and depended on the Charity of some of his Followers for his Subsistence; as appears by Luke. 8. at the begin. As also in his meek, condescending▪ and familiar Treatment of his ⟨p. 260⟩Disciples; in his Discourses with them, treating them as a Father his Children, yea, as Friends and Companions: And in his patient bearing such Affliction and Reproach, and so many Injuries from the Scribes and Pharisees, and others: In these Things he appeared as a Lamb. And yet he at the same Time did many Ways show forth his divine Majesty and Glory; particularly in the Miracles that he wrought, which were evidently divine Works, and manifested omnipote•• Power, and so declared him to be the Lion of the Tribe of Judah His wonderful and miraculous Works plainly showed him to be the God of Nature; in that it appeared by them that he had all Nature in his Hands, and could lay an Arrest upon it, and stop and change it's Course, as he pleased. In healing the Sick, and opening the Eyes of the Blind, and unstopping the Ears of the Deaf, and healing the Lame, he showed that he was the God that framed the Eye, and created the Ear, and was the Author of the Frame of Man's Body. By the Dead's rising at his Command, it appeared that he was the Author and Fountain of Life, and that God the LORD, to whom belong the Issues from Death. By his walking on the Sea in a Storm, when the Waves were raised, he showed himself to be that God, spoken of Job 9. 8. That treadeth on the Waves of the Sea. By his stilling the Storm, and calming the Rage of the Sea, by his powerful Command, saying, Peace, be still, He showed himself to be he that has the Command of the Universe, and to be that God that brings Things to pass by the Word of his Power, that speaks and it is done, that commands and it stands fast, & he that is spoken of, Psalm 65.7 Who stilleth the Noise of the Seas, the Noise of their Waves. And Psalm 107. 29. That maketh the Storm a Calm; so that the Waves thereof are still. And Psalm 89. 8, 9. O Lord God of Hosts, Who is a strong Lord like unto thee, o• to thy Faithfulness round about thee? Thou rebukest the raging of th• Sea;
