Secondly, Who ever hardened himself against God and prospered? That is, did ever any man so weary out God by lengthening this ⟨p. 167⟩war, that God was (as it were) forced at last to offer him terms of peace? So it happens sometimes with men,1 with Nations and Kingdoms. They not getting peace by victory, but being spent and tired out with war, begin to think of treating. Did ever any one put the Lord to offer a treaty with articles of peace, to save himself from further trouble? They who have not strength enough to overcome, may yet have power enough to vex and weary their adversary. But God can neither be vanquished by force, nor vexed with our policies into a peace with man.
