Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
That ungodly men in their greatest power and rage, 1yet if God comes upon them, are nothing but as foam, are poor weak creatures that vanish and come to nothing. The foam when the waters makes a noise, is above it, and hath a great show above the waters, but stay a while and it is vanished and comes to nothing. Your King that rages and is above others, and thinks he hath a great deal of power; stay a while he comes to nothing. The Scripture compares men in their greatest power to things of the greatest vanity; there are in Scripture, that I'll mention to you, a matter of 19. or 20. several particulars wherein the Scripture compares men in their greatest power, unto that which hath nothing but vanity:2 yea there are such expressions in Scripture, to set out the meanness, vileness, and baseness of men in the greatest power, that it would make Christians that understand Scripture, & that is of the same judgment wth their Father, with God, as he hath revealed himself in his Word, never to be afraid of the power of men. I'll name them distinctly to you thus:
