God can take away the help, and stop up the pity of all creatures, None shall deliver them. And though themselves should endeavour to escape, they shall not escape (Amos 9. 1.) They that fly shall not fly away, and they that escape shall not be delivered, that is, by endeavouring to escape, they shall not be delivered, they shall attempt it in vain. If God will not deliver, none can, If a Lot be taken prisoner He bids Abraham arm and rescue him. If a Paul be in the mouth of a Lyon, the Lord will deliver him. It needs not trouble us, who is our enemy, if God will be our deliverer: nor can it avail what friends so ever we have, if God saith, ye shall not be delivered; A wicked man (when the Lord appears against him) either hath none to deliver him, or none shall. Salvation is far from the wicked, for they keep not thy statutes, Ps. 119. 155. From the children, judgement proceeds to the estate of this wicked man.
