Nay, let none boast so much as of to morrow, they know not what one 1day may bring forth. Man is a worm, mean and base, if he were laid out in his colours: But being as he is, he should rather break into admiration, and say with the Prophet, O Lord, it is thy mercy that we be not all consumed, 2rather then to boast of things above his reach. It is absurd and ill beseeming every way, but especially it is odious, and as dangerous, when it is used against the people of God, as Jezebel did against Elijah, and Rabsakee that 3railing heathen against the good King Hezekiah and his men, boasting and 4threatening them, and all to discourage them from the true service of God, as I have said. And this of Gaal's boasting: now of Zebul's answer.
