And truly, even the Saints, so be it they do it in an holy humble way, they may have some kind of insulting over ungodly men, only because they have so much flesh in them, there's danger, therefore they had need keep their hearts very low: But if they do it in the strength of God; we have it in Scripture, That the Virgin, Daughter of Zion shall laugh at them, and laugh them to scorn. ⟨p. 527⟩Only keep your hearts (I say) low, and you may come to see the Glory of God; even insult in this, That God hath heard your Prayer, and hath been with his People, and that the Enemy hath had so much power and strength in the flesh, and yet how the Lord hath disappointed them.
And then further, This is the great confusion to carnal 1hearts, when they shall be asked, Where's their Confidence, and their Boasting; and they shall be found speechless? when this shall be asked them, Where's your bravery, and pride and stoutness of your hearts? and they shall be able to say nothing; Oh! this will be a great confusion and shame upon them. Certainly ere long it will be so to all carnal hearts that make their boast in the pomp and glory of the world, there shall be a confounding.
