when the Waves thereof arise, thou stillest them—Christ by casting out Devils, remarkably appeared as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, and showed that he was stronger than that roaring Lion, that seeks ⟨p. 261⟩whom he may devour. He commanded them to come out, and they were forced to obey: They were terribly afraid of him; they fall down before him, and beseech him not to torment them: He forces a whole Legion of them to forsake their old Hold, by his powerful Word; and they could not so much as enter into the Swine without his Leave.—He showed the Glory of his Omniscience, by telling the Thoughts of Men; as we have often an Account. Herein he appeared to be that God spoken of, Amos 4 13. That declareth unto Man what is his Thought. Thus in the midst of his Meanness and Humiliation, his divine Glory appeared in his Miracles, John 2. 11. This beginning of Miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his Glory.
