To the intent that the living may know, that the most high ruleth in the Kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. God somtimes setteth up those that are base in their conditions or manners for a scourge or punishment; somtimes he setteth up those that are base in their state or condition, being either men of meanest birth, or men laid lowest by affliction, (
