First, To politic men; some presume they can trouble nations and shake the surest foundations of peace, with the engine of their brain, with their wit and subtlety. Yet this engine proves useless and unserviceable to that end, where the Lord gives quietness. Ahithophel was as an oracle of God for wisdom in his times, and he stretched his brains upon the tenters to make trouble, but God said there should be peace, and therefore (as David prayed) his wisdom was turned into foolishness. There is no wisdom (saith Solomon the wise, Pro: 21.30.) nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord.

Secondly, We may put the question (who can make trouble?) to mighty men; their power (the strength of their Armies, and arm) cannot do it? Sennacherib came with a mighty host to disturb Israel, but he could not make trouble, he could not so much as shoot an arrow against Jerusalem, when the Lord forbade it.
