The excellency of holy courage in evil times by Jeremiah Burroughs

Some times compared to a bubble and a vapour; a weavers shuttle, and the wind in Job, 7.6, 7, he is compared to the Eagle flying in the air, and to the Ship in the midst of the Sea, and as the days of an Hireling, Job. 7.1. And as a shadow. Job, 8.9. He is such a poor creature, that the moth crusheth him. Job. 4, 19. Now that which can crush a man must have a great deal of power over him: And his days are but as a hand breadth. Psal. 39.5. And his breath is in his Nostrils. Isa. 2.22. This is to show what little cause there is to fear man. Now put all these together surely he is not a creature much to be feared: and here we see what wonderful dishonour God hath, when man is feared above God▪
