The second argument is drawn from the testimony of antiquity, and that's laid down in the eighth, ninth and tenth verses.
The third argument appears in the similitudes; 1. Of a rush or flag, in the 11, 12, and 13, verses. 2. Of a spiders-web, in the 14, and 15, verses. 3. Of a Tree flourishing for a time, but anon plucked up, in the 16, 17, 18, and 19, verses. These are the arguments and illustrations of his grand assertion.
Doth God pervert judgement? or doth the Almighty pervert justice? No he doth not. And thou mayest learn this lesson from thy own experience, from the example of thy children, from the ⟨p. 3⟩testimony of antiquity, yea the withering rush, the spiders-web, the luxuriant roots and branches of a tree, may all be thy Masters and instructors to teach thee this truth, That God is just.
