Reproof of their folly that begin at the wrong end, and trust to §2wit and might, to policy and power to bring their purposes to pass. Religion and piety they think will mar all, and therefore will have no dealing at all with them. A generation and brood of impious Atheists are risen up almost every where, which contemptuously renounce the assistance of Gods helpful hand, in the whole course of their lives. Nay they are so far from seeking either to be guided by his counsel, or blessed by his providence, as that they actually bid defiance unto him, by rejecting his wisdom, and provoking his wrath, as though there were nothing in him but folly and weakness. And yet they doubt not but that they can command the event of their actions to be fortunate, & create to themselves prosperity and happiness.
