In great power, or formidable; not only himself out of danger, as it seemed, but terrible to others. And spreading himself; and therefore firmly and deeply rooted. Like a green bay tree, which is continually green and flourishing, yea, even in the winter season. Or, like a green tree in its own native soil, where trees flourish much better than when they are transplanted into another soil.
