But Jericho is not only thus fenced with blind zeal and wilful ignorance: but also oftentimes ⟨image 12⟩hath help of mans strength, and the favour and succour of worldly power. The Egyptians had mighty Chariots, straked and barred with iron, in the strength whereof they put their trust. The people of Babylon built themselves a Tower as high as the Heavens, to show forth their pride, and get themselves a name. Hereof David saith, The kings of the earth band themselves, and the Princes 1are assembled together against the Lord, & against his Christ. He sayeth not, the vulgar people, or a sort of Rascals only, but Kings and Princes, and they which bear authority in the world, assemble them selves against the Lord, and in this power they think they are invincible.
But Hiericho is not onely thus fensed with blinde zeale and wilfull ignoraunce: but also oftentimes ⟨image 12⟩hath helpe of mans strength, and the fauour and succour of worldly power. The Aegyptians had mighty Chariots, straked and barred with yron, in the strength whereof they put their trust. The people of Babylon built themselues a Tower as high as the Heauens, to shew forth their pryde, and get themselues a name. Hereof Dauid sayth, The kinges of the earth band themselues, and the Princes 1are assembled together against the Lord, & against his Christ. He sayeth not, the vulgar people, or a sort of Raskals onely, but Kinges and Princes, and they which beare authoritye in the worlde, assemble them selues against the Lord, and in this power they thinke they are inuincible.
