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.

- 1Obs. 3.
Where? Asked them, Where's all your Bravery, and Pride, and Rage? I say, this confounding [Where] will be asked to every wicked and ungodly man: What will they be able to say then? In Judg. 9. 28. we read of one Gaal the son of Ebbed, who said, Who is Abimelech? but in vers. 38. when Abimelech came with strength against him, Zebal said to him, Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidest, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? When men are in their pride & bravery, then they scorn at God and men, they little regard any thing that is said to them; but when God brings them down low, then where is that mouth of thine that did so boast and speak so proudly, as heretofore it did?
