The false Prophet Balaam goes about to curse, where God had blessed: but God reveals his wonders in his Saints, by delivering of them, and keeping them from dangers, when they never think of them, they never thought they had such an enemy as Balaam. The Church of God is a glorious company, and the great God doth great things for it: so long as they keep close to him, their state is impregnable, as we may read here, neither Balak nor Balaam, that was nired to curse them, could prevail, but the curse returns upon their own head.

These words I have read to you, they are Balaam's desire, Balaam's acclamation. Diverse questions might be moved concerning Balaam, which I will not stand upon, but come directly to the words, wherein are considerable these things.
