But this breath is nothing, it is easy to let it out, and then the bladder will also be as nothing. It will not be so easy as he thinketh, to have such place given him in the consciences of men, as he sometimes had: or to root out all that profess the Gospel of Christ, or to make that the name of the holy one of Israel shall be no more spoken of. Yet he attempteth it, and thereto employeth all his power, and his wisdom, and his counsel.1 But he that dwelleth in heaven, laugheth him to scorn, the Lord shall have him in derision As though he were a Sampson, he taketh hold of the pillars, ⟨p. 109⟩he crasheth them in pieces: but the house which he pulleth down, shall fall upon his own head. His heart is exalted against his fall, which is at hand. All his great boast is but a cloud of darkness, a clear wind will blow it over.
