Alas what could I have done for him? what profit could I have brought him? if I should have pined away in the exercise of Devotion, and been eaten up with zeal? If I should have spent my substance in Burnt-Offerings, or Calves of a year old? If I should have presented him with thousands of Rams, or ten thousand Rivers of Oil, To what purpose then should I endeavour that, which I could not have performed? Why should I trouble my self with vain attempts, and spend my strength about that, which I never could accomplish, neither if I be righteous is he the better; nor if I be wicked is he the worse: our goodness extends not to him; if thou sinnest, what dost thou against him? if thou be righteous, what receiveth he at thine hand? Is this then the evasion? I need not stand to unfold the disingenuity, the stupor and madness of this evasion. |
