Thirdly, If that the wrath and anger of wicked men shall turn to the praise of God, Why should we fear when wicked men are angry? why should we be afraid? When men are angry, we are apt to fear, but in Isa. 51. Who art thou that art afraid of a man that shall dye, and of the Son of man that shall be made as grass: and forgettest the Lord thy Maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth? &c. Who art thou that art afraid of a man that shall dye? Is that all the Argument? There's another Argument before, verse 7. Hearken unto me ye that know Righteousness, the people in whose heart is my Law, fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings: why? for the Moth shall eat them up like a garment: They shall eat out themselves, as the Moth eats out her self: For the Moth shall eat them up like a Garment, and the Worm shall eat them like Wool; But my Righteousness, the Gospel of my Righteousness, and the Righteousness of Christ, that's my Righteousness, shall be for ever, and my salvation, from Generation to Generation. Fear not, why God will turn all their wrath and anger ⟨p. 181⟩unto his praise. And therefore why should we fear.
