To the onely wise God] Romans 16:27. 1 Timothy 1:17. Some men were wise, as Solomon; but God is onely wise: First, because he onely is wise originally: the wisedom of the wisest men is from him, Genesis 41:39. Psalms 119:98. Gods wisedom is from himself. Secondly, because he onely is inseparably wise: he sheweth wisedom in all his actions, 1 Corinthians 1:25. men do not so, Ecclesiastes 10:1. Thirdly, he is insuperably wise: he overcometh the wisedom of the most subtill men, 1 Corinthians 1:19. but no creature can go beyond him.
our Saviour] Titus 2:13. and Titus 3:4. Gods wisedom is used for our good and salvation: and every believer hath as much right to salvation by Christ as the apostles.
be glory] Let him be honourably accounted of by all, especially by those that shall be saved by him.
majestie] Hebrews 1:3. and Hebrews 8:1. 2 Peter 1:16. Let him be royally attended by all, as the supreme governour of all.
dominion] Or, strength. Let all acknowledge him able to do what he will, and to over-rule all creatures, Psalms 115:3.
power] Or, authority. Let them confesse his just authority over all.
now] At this very present. We that now live, are subject to him. The kings that had power over us, when they die have no more; but God liveth still, and hath as much power over us, as he had over Adam, when he had new made him.
ever] Gr. to all the ages, of the world. His dominion will last to the end; therefore is he called Eternall, 1 Timothy 1:17. which in the Greek there, is, The King of ages, to distinguish him from all other kings, who rule but in one age; as David, Acts 13:36.
Amen] See on Matthew 6:13.
