Yea, Secondly, God loves to insult over men in their carnal 1confidences; For so, he doth not say here, Your King shall not save you, nor your Cities shall not save you, nor your Princes, and Nobles shall not save you; but, where are they? in a kind of Irony; God loves to insult over the carnal confidences of men. And we find in Scripture many such kind of Insultings over men: in Deut. 32. 37. Where are your Gods that should deliver you? And in Is. 19. 12. Where are thy Wise-men? What, we have got States-men, men known in State Affairs, we have them with us. But where are they, saith God? Thus the Lord insults over men that put their confidence in the flesh, and especially when they have been confident in their own ways, forsaking God, and so bringing themselves to misery; when they have brought themselves to misery by forsaking the ways of God, now God insults, now where are these things that you put such confidence in?
