aa
on
the
Nature
of
Gode
can
male ten
thoufand
Angels
,
as
foon
as
hee can
make
one worm. And therefore
God,
hee can
as
foon (peak
the
word
ro
the
foul
of
a
man
that
is
dead, to
live ,
hee can
as
foon
raife ail the dead out
of
their
graves
, as
hee
can
give
them
a
peece of bread
to
eat.
while they are alive,
luch
is
the innnitenefs of Gods
operation.

Further, God
is
excellent in
all
that
hee
Both.
There
is
nothing
that
Gd
doth in
any
tinie
, but
was decreed
to
bee
done
from
eternity
;
that
is, the excellency
of Gods
work
-
ing; the creature
works
fomething, but
perhaps
a
man
did
not
think of what
bee
doth,
a
few dayes ago,
but God
doth
nothing , nor never
will
do
any
thing
,
but
it
is
that that
was
decreed
from all
eternity that
hee would
do,
and
God
will
never
do
any
thing
to
all
eternity
,
but
what
bee
had
decreed from
all
eternity
before
;
yet it
is
for
us
creatures
eo
obfserve
according
to
his
revealed
will
;
but
this
is
the
excellency of
God
above all creatures
what
-
ever.

And
then there
is
a
further
thing
that
is
as
confider
-
able
as
any of
the
other,GGd
is
fo
far
from
needing
any
matter
to
r
orlej
pon,crin/lruzsent
to
im1Zby,when
he
doth
do
anything,
as there
is no
more
required for
a;
creature
to bee
,
or
work
at
any
time
when
God would
have
it
, but
the alone
aEi
of
Gods
will
that
was
from
eternity.
As
now
the
world
it
was
not
made
fix
thoufand
years
ago
;
Now
God
willed from
all
eternity that
there fnould bee
a
world
in
time
, and
there
was
nothing required
to
make
this world
but
that
ad}
of
Gods will
that
was
from
all
eternity, that it
fhould
bee at
that
time. Man,
bee
doth
will and decree
to
do
fuch
a
thing
;
now when
the time
comes,
then
hee beflirs himfelf,
and takes this
tool
or
int}rument
,
and puts
forth
a
power
that
hee
did not put forth before
:
But the
a&
of
Gods
will from all
eternity
was fufficient
to
make
all
creatures
that
ever
fence
have
been
made
and
to
provide for
all
creatures
that
ever
fence
have-been provided
for
,
one
a,i
of
Gods will bath done all
this
;
and
that
aid
of the
will
of God
that hath been
from
all
eterbity
bath done
it;
there
