Doct. It is the property of sinners one to rely upon another. It was an ordinary thing with the godly Kings and good people of Israel to prevent plagues and dangers by faithfulness and obedience to God, and to remove them when any came, by humiliation and prayer to him: and it was ordinary with the wicked Kings, and sinful people to procure plagues by rebellion against God, and to seek remedy, by flying from him to his enemies. Sometimes they reposed upon Egypt, as Isaiah complaineth, and threateneth them for it, saying, Woe unto them that go down into 1Egypt for help, and stay upon horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many, and in horsemen, because they are very strong: but they look not unto the holy one of Israel nor seek unto the Lord. Sometimes their confidence was Asshur as Hosea layeth to their charge: When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, then went Ephraim 2unto Asshur, and sent unto King Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
