Thus Christ Mat. 5.8. Heaven and Earth shall sooner pass away, then one iota or title. Whatsoever is asserted or threatened, or promised, stands firmer then Mount Zion, like the earth, which cannot be removed. They who have endeavoured to overthrow Gods Truths, they are as absurd, as if a man should set his shoulder to remove a huge mountain. 1 Pet. 1.25. Gods truths are exalted for duration above all earthly pomp; All flesh is grass, the grass withereth, the flower fadeth, but the Word of God endureth for ever. See then, the incorruptibility and immortality of Gods Truths, that as it's said of God himself, I am the Lord, and I change not, Mal. 3.6. so these are Gods truths, they change not. All flesh is grass. Whatsoever greatness and power hath exalted it self against Gods truth, hath vanished into dust, when truth hath still prevailed.
