First,1 When God forsakes a People, there's nothing can do them good. For they did most dote upon a King that should do them good, and help them. When God forsakes a People, nothing then can do them good,2 Psalm, 127. at the beginning, Except the Lord build the house, &c.

Secondly.1 It's just with God, to make those things unuseful to men which they sinfully dote upon, and put their confidence in. They sinfully doted upon Kings, and put their confidence ⟨p. 338⟩in them, & God doth now justly make the power of Kings unuseful to them: What shall a King do to us? If we dote upon them, it's just with God to make them unuseful to us. Or if we dote upon our Credit, and Names, and so upon Kings and Princes; If men expect preferment from them, it's just with God to blast all their hopes, that they should be forced to say, Now I see God fights against him, as well as against me. Thus the people spake in respect of their Kings.
