Shew me the man: having described the Lord in his wisdome and power, he challengeth all the world, and sends defiance to all creatures in heaven and in earth, to meet with this God. As if he had said, Friends, Doe ye thinke I have any thought to contend with God? No, I know not one who hath accepted this challenge, or hardened himself against God and prospered. If my own conscience would ⟨p. 160⟩not, yet their harms who have attempted it, might warn me from such presumption.
