They see themselves in a sad condition that they 1know not which way to turn themselves, they see their plots take not, their designs prosper not, they see God is out against them, they would fain fall upon new plots, but they see as great an unlikelihood to prosper in their new plots, as in the former, what the Issue of them may be they know not, thus they are in suspense, and in doubt not knowing which way to turn themselves.

- 1In suspense here what.In suspence here what.
And blessed be God that hath put our adversaries in 1suspense, and doubt: This is a judgment of God upon men who cannot trust God in his right and holy ways, they must have ways of their own, they follow their own counsels. and these counsels of their own ensnares them, and brings them into most miserable straights that they know not how to extricate themselves. God makes the ways of the righteous plain to them, But the counsels of mens hearts brings them into straights. They thought to deal more wisely for themselves, but the truth is, their counsels in which their wisdom was much applauded, brings them into most miserable straights and extremities, that they know not what to do.
