The fourth is, 1And what shall a King do to us?
- 1Obs. 4.
See here the alteration of the spirits of these men towards their King; King, not long ago they put their confidence in their King, and gloried in their King, and now, what shall a King do to us? Hence the Note is:
God can soon make a great change in the hearts of people in reference to their Kings; that even those that did dote, and admire him, and own no other God but their King, shall even turn their hearts and say, What can a King do for us? the least turn of God upon the hearts of people will make such a change as this is.
Again,1 here observe, The difference between the blessed estate of Gods People, and the wretched estate of wicked men; those who fear God can say, What shall a King, what shall men, what Devils do against us? But other men in their straights, what shall they do for us? We are in a distressed condition, and what shall they do for us? But the People of God are never in such a distressed condition but they are able to say, What shall Men or Devils be able to do against us? for God is our Protector.
