This was Jobs last resort: And this was Davids when Shimei ⟨p. 281⟩cursed him, God hath bid Shimei curse: This kept down those angry motions, which must else have boiled up as high in his spirit, as they did in Abishaes, himself being more deeply concerned in it then Abishai was. Job having discovered this frame of spirit more then once before, I here only touch upon it.

Though God doth often deliver his choicest Servants into the power of wicked men, yet he never delivers them up to the will of wicked men: They cannot do with his people what they please, they shall only do what God himself pleaseth, though they displease God highly in doing it.

Saints in the hand of the vilest men, are in the hand, or possession of God two ways.
