These are the pitiful imaginations, that all men by Nature have of God. All these may be proved by evident Scriptures: The first; in the Psalm, where David brings in the wicked, saying to themselves. God hath forgotten, he hides his face, 1he will not see, he will not regard. The second, by the blasphemy of Rabsakeh, who uttered with his tongue that which all mens hearts think by nature,2 What God can deliver you out of my hand? The third, Isaiah proves apparently, where he tells us that the wicked say; We have made a covenant with death, 3and with hell are we at agreement, though a scourge run over and pass through, it shall not come at us.
