THE WORLDS GREAT RIDERS: OR, The rage of Oppression.
PSALM. 66. 12. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads: we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
PSALME. 66. 12. Thou hast caused men to ride ouer our heads: wee went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest vs out into a wealthy place.
THIS verse is like that Sea, Math. 8. 24. So tempestuous at first, that the vessel was covered with waves: but Christs rebuke quieted all, and there followed a great calm. Here are cruel Nimrods riding over innocent heads, as they would over fallow lands; and dangerous passages through fire and water: but the storm is soon ended, or rather the passengers are landed. Thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
