5503. Saying, What is this that God hath done to us? That this signifies on account of so much providence, is evident from the signification of "God's doing," as being providence; for everything that God does can be expressed by no other word than providence. The reason of this is that in everything that God or the Lord does there is the eternal and the infinite, and these are in the word "providence." As they were amazed it is therefore signified, on account of so much providence.
