The ancient Tragedians, when things ⟨p. 144⟩were brought to that pass, that there could be no possibility of humane help imagined they used to bring down some of their gods out of the clouds: othence was a phrase they had like to that the Jews also used when they were brought into great straits beyond all hope of humane help. In the Mount of the Lord it shall be seen: which is the same with our English. Mans extremity, is Gods opportunity: when the enemies are at the height of their rage and cruelty, when the people of God are brought to the lowest, when the arm of flesh is withered up; when the stream of second causes doth not run, when the channel of creature reliefs is dry, qthen is the time for God to arise and have mercy upon Zion. But here may be demanded two things.
