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.
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 shal 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.
