if God had not Devils and Men in chains they would be so exorbitant that the world could not long subsist: blessed be God for restraining mercy! And how doth this also hold forth the mighty power of this mercy! when Sin lords it at such a rate in the hearts of men, hath such an absolute power over them•, doth so impetuously urge them to all kinds and degrees of evil, that yet they should be so bounded and limited that some Order and Decorum should be kept up in the world, ô the power of restraining providence! 'Tis like the Fires not burning into which the Three Children were cast, |
