From whence the Note is this, which Pareus hath upon the place, saith he, The subjection of the hearts of men 1unto those in Authority, it is a work of God, God is to have the glory of it: It is from God that the hearts of multitudes shall be brought under some few so as to fear them, and to receive what they speak with trembling, it is from God. In Josh. 4. 14. On that day the Lord magnified Joshua ⟨p. 418⟩in the sight of all Israel, and they feared him as they feared Moses. Joshua before Moses dyed, was but a servant to Moses, and we do not read that he was so magnified among the People, they did not fear him so much; No, the fear was then upon Moses, because Moses was in place of Authority; but when Moses was taken away, and Joshua was to succeed him in Authority, then the Lord magnified him, the Lord put a lustre upon him, and the Lord caused the People to fear him, as they had feared Moses: It is a work of God to cause People to fear Magistrates. So in Dan. 5. 19. For the Majesty be gave him, (that God gave the King) all People, and Nations, and Languages trembled and feared before him. It's God that puts majesty upon Governors, to make those that are under to fear. It's a very observable Scripture we have in Psal 77. 14. there it's spoken of God, that he did wonders 2and marvellous things; What are those wonders and marvellous things? If you read, you shall find among others, Thou leadest thy People like a flock of Sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron; that's reckoned among the wonders and marvellous things that God doth, That he did lead his People like a flock of Sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron; that so great a multitude should be led like a flock of Sheep by the hands of two, it is a wonderful work of God, God is to have the glory of it, it is for the maintaining of Government and Order in the World, that God doth so subdue the hearts of many under few.
