Jeremiah10:6

6 For as much as there is none like unto thee, O LORD: thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

This particle [non-Latin text not transcribed] Mi[illegible: 1 letter] is to be taken here causally, and refers either to what goes before, shewing there is no comparison between God, and Idols, or rather to what follows, as grounding the reason of all due subjection to God, as in the next verse.

Or thou art transcendently great.

i. e. Though Idols may have something of a name in the World among the heathen, yet there was nothing of their real power, or might seen, or if the Devil might act something through them to delude the World, yet nothing to be compared with that might, that hath manifested it self in Gods works, Psal. 106.8. &. 111.6. all the works of Idols are either none or feeble and weak, ver. 8.

Marginal references: Exod, 15.11. Psal. 86.8.10.
