and bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth, Isa. 23. 9. Soon shall they feel the weight of Christs power, and their own rebellions. Their's no evasion from, no fortification against the Lord. The strongest and the best fortified Castles, the most formidable preparations of war, the closest confederacies with the most potent allies, the fullest treasuries, the best furnished Armories, the proudest Navies, the most numerous and resolved Armies, are infinitly more unable to withstand the Son of God, then the flax is to resist the flames, or the chass and smoke to contend with the most boisterious whirlewind; all creature-defences against an incensed God, are but paper-towers, or childish Castles of Cards. What were the proudest walls and towers of Jerico, but the derisions of rams-horns? What that of Babel, but a monument of the madness of those who build it? The horse is a vain thing for safety, Psal. 33. 17. The hors-man as vain as his horse. |
