the creatures in the world is in God alone I might say of it that many haue conceaued it to be a powerfull name for the working of miracles and that thereby Christ and Moses haue done great wonders But my tongue shall never enlarge that which my soule abhorreth their braine-sicke superstitious and blasphemous inventions Yet sure there is some secret in this name It is plaine Exod. 6.3 where the Lord speaking vnto Moses saith I appeared vnto Abraham to Isaac and to Iacob by the name of a strong omnipotent all sufficient God but by my name IEHOVAH was I not knowne vnto them I vnfold this secret First it importeth the eternitie of Gods essence in himselfe that he is c Heb. 13.8 yesterday and to day and the same for ever d Apoc. 1.8 which was which is which is to come Againe it noteth the existence and perfection of all things in God as from whom all creatures in the world haue their e Act. 17.28 life motion being God is the being of all his creatures not that they are the same that he is but because f Rom. 11.36 of him in him and by him are all things And last of all it is the memoriall of God vnto all ages as himselfe calls it Exod. 3.15 the memoriall of his faithfulnesse his truth and his constancie in the performance of his promises And therefore whensoever in any of the Prophets God promiseth or threatneth any great matter to assure vs of the most certaine event of such his promise or threatning he addeth vnto it his name IEHOVAH In steed of this name IEHOVAH the most proper name of God the 70. haue ever put 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as doth our Apostle also in my text 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a name of power well suiting with the liuing true and only God For he hath plenum 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The power and authoritie he hath over all things is soveraigne and without controlement Hee that made the heavens and spread them out like a g Psal 104.2 curtaine to cloath himselfe with light as with a rayment he can againe h Esai 50.3 cloth the heavens with darknesse make a sacke their covering He that made the Sea to lay the i Psal 104 3. beames of his chamber therein and placed the k Ierem. 5.22 sands for bounds vnto it by a perpetuall decree not to be passed over howsoever the waues thereof shall rage and roare he can with a word l Iob. 26.12 smite the pride thereof At his rebuke the flouds shall be turned into a m Esai 50.2 wildernesse the Sea shall be dryed vp the fish shall rot for want of water and dye for thirst Hee that made the dry land and so n Psal 104.5 set it vpon foundations that it should never moue hee can cover her againe with the deepe as with a garment and so rocke her that o Psal 107.27 shee shall reele to and fro and stagger like a drunken man So powerfull a God may well be named from power 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the absolute LORD ruler and commander of all things This name of power 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 vulgarly translated LORD is in the writings of the Apostles simply and absolutely ascribed vnto Christ if the p Zanch. de Attrib l. 1. c. 17. learned haue made a iust calculation 1000. times may serue for sufficient proofe of the Deitie of CHRIST For it imports thus much that CHRIST the q Heb. 1.3 engraved forme of his father sitting at the right hand of the maiestie in the highest places is together with the Father and the Holy Ghost the author and governor of all things and in a very speciall maner he is the heire of the house of God the mighty protector of the CHVRCH CHRIST the only begotten Son of God he is the LORD yet so that neither the Father nor the Holy Ghost are excluded frō dominion The Father is LORD and the Holy Ghost is LORD too For in all the workes of GOD ad extra as some call them each person of the TRINITIE hath his operation yet so that a common distinction be obserued For these workes of God so called ad extra doe admit a double consideration For either they are begunne extra divinas personas and ended in aliquâ personarum or else they are both begun and ended extra divinas personas The workes of God begun externally and perfected in some one of the persons what are they They are such as was the voice of the Father concerning Christ r Mat. 3.17 This is my beloued Sonne A voice formed by all three persons yet vttered only by the Father They are such as was that ſ Mat. 3.16 doue descending vpon Christ at his baptisme A doue fram'd by all three persons yet appropriate only vnto the Holy Ghost They are such as was the body and soule of CHRIST A body and soule created by all three persons yet assumed only by the Sonne of God This is that obvious and much vsed distinction in schoole divinitie Inchoatiuè Terminatiuè For if wee respect the beginning of these workes they are the workes of the whole TRINITIE common vnto all but respect we their perfection and en● they are no more common but hypostaticall and personall for so the voice is the Fathers alone the doue is the Holy Ghosts alone the reasonable soule and humane flesh are the Sonnes only Besides these there are other workes of God as begunne so ended also extra personas and they are of two sorts either supernaturall such I call the miraculous workes of God or naturall such as are the creation of the world the preservation of the same and the government of it And all these workes of which kind soever whether miraculous or workes of nature they are common to the whole TRINITIE The Father worketh the Sonne worketh and the Holy Ghost worketh as in doing of wonders so in creating all things in preseruing all things in governing all things wherevpon followeth that which I mentioned that not only the Sonne is LORD but the Father is LORD and the Holy Ghost is LORD also Yet must I adde that this name of power 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or LORD is most often and very specially giuen vnto Christ for that hee hath receaued of God the Father absolute soveraigntie over all creatures in Heaven in earth and in the waters to doe with them all as him listeth which his soveraigntie hee hath obtained in as much as being made man and hauing dyed for vs and for the sinnes of the whole world hee is become the mediatour of the new covenant In which sense the Apostle in my text calleth him the LORD the LORD who shall iudge his people For the Father iudgeth no man but hath cōmitted all iudgement vnto the Sonne so Christ himselfe told the Iews Ioh. 5.22 Thus far of him that shall iudge
