Then happy are that people, who have the Lord for their God (Psal: 144.15.) what can a people desire more to make them happy, then to have the Lord for their God, if we consider these two things?
First, God hath a negative voice upon all the counsels of the wisest men in the world; if he saith it shall not be, it cannot be, whosoever saith this or that shall be (Lam: 3.37.) Who is he that saith and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? if he gives not his assent, nothing can pass into a law. The Lords single negative stops the affirmative votes of all men joined in one.
