Almightie.

I Beleeue that I am entred into league with almightie God, who also by his omnipoten∣cie worketh what soeuer he wil in al y^e world, & whatsoeuer things he wil not or hath not de¦creed, he hindereth, cōfoundeth & scatereth thē; so as it is impossible y^t they should be done. For euen like as he is almightie, in bringing that to passe that he wil, so in y^t that he wil not, he abi∣deth no resistance, which is as it were the other part of his diuine power. Ps. 135. ver. 6, 7.14. Esai. 43.13. & 8. ver. 10. & 46.10. & 19.3.11.12 14. Ioh, 10. vers. 29.30. Now let this omnipotency be al∣waies in sight to y^e confederates or rather faith∣ful citizens of the kingdome of God, euen as the Lord from the verie beginning hath set the same before the eyes of Abraham the father

of beleeuers in his couenant: I am God almighty, and before in the 15. Chapter, Feare not Abraham, I will be thy shielde: Therefore I must not con∣sider any thing whatsoeuer seemeth to be a∣gainst the diuine promises, either in my selfe or in all creatures, but I must giue praise to the omnipotent power of God, & must cheare∣fully followe God whither he calleth. Rom. 4.17.18.19.20.21. Heb. 11.17.19.
