§. 136. Of the Observations arising of the tenth verse.

I. CHrist is Iehovah; The Title Lord importeth as much. See §. 128.

II. Christ is the Creator of all, Joh. 1. 2. Col. 1. 16.

III. The beginning of time was at the Creation; For this phrase In the begin∣ning hath reference to the Creation; Before that there was no time, See §. 129.

IV. Christ was eternall; He made the things that were made in the beginning; So as he was before them, and before the beginning; Therefore without beginning, and eternall. See 119.

V. The Earth was made. For when the foundation of it was laid, it was made, See 131.

VI. The earth is immoveable. See 131.

VII. The Heavens were made as well as the earth. See 132.

VIII. The same Lord that made Earth made also the Heavens. The copulative par∣ticle AND which here knits heaven and earth together, demonstrates the truth of these two doctrines.

IX. All creatures are within the compasse of heaven and earth: These two kindes are here put for all creatures whatsoever. See 130.

X. Christ can establish and turn about what he will. The earth is a massie and pon∣derous piece, and hath nothing to rest upon but the air; yet is it there laid as a foundation, and remains unmoveable. The heavens are of an incomprehensible bignesse, yet he maketh them continually to run about.

Of other Observations arising from this phrase, The works of thine hands, See §. 131.
