Hence see what cause we have to admire Gods goodness to his Church in preserving his Church, notwithstanding there are so many that have power over it, and are crossed mightily by the ways of Gods people, that it is not swallowed up by them It is the Lord that saith to the proud waves, hither you shall go and no further, Job 30.11. And that place in Psal. 76.10. Is further notable for this purpose, Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee. It is God that turns the wrath of man to his praise: & he doth not only preserve his Church notwithstanding it, but makes it work for the good of his Church.
