As Joseph no States-man, Paul no Mariner, yet able to out-vie them, to out-shoot them in their own Bow. The like we may truly say of the divine wisdom in regard of all humane power and might. What is the most glorious pretence of using might and power? Is it not the cause of Religion? the building up and defence of pure religion? Does not the Wiseman tell us here, that wisdom strengthens the wise more then ten mighty men that are in the City? And therefore what ye read, Zach. 4.6. spoken of the material Temple, the building of it, not by might nor by power; and the same is most true if understood of the spiritual Temple the Church of God. All the Zelots in all Ages they have found that by their tyranny, all that could be effected, was but to make many Hypocrites like themselves: |
