How? or to whom? The answer is, If a man speak to God, he shall be swallowed up. But shall every one that speaks to God be swallowed up? Not so; therefore we must go to the manner of speaking. If a man speak to God, not keeping his distance, if a man speak to God without a Mediator, he shall be swallowed up, as a drop of water is swallowed up of the Ocean, or as a ⟨p. 592⟩spark of fire is swallowed up in a great flame,¹ or as the light of a Candle, or Glow-worm, is swallowed up by the Sun; there is no standing for the Creature before God, in such a nearness of access, but by faith in a Mediator; If a man speak he shall be swallowed up. Man is no match for God, or he is a most unequal match.
