First, By the power of the party against whom the Judgement is given. Sometimes there is a Sentence given against a man, which comes to naught, 'tis made void; why? there's no power can execute it upon him: David spake much in that language, Ye sons of Serviah are too hard for me.
Secondly, Sometimes the Judgements of men are disannulled by a superior Authority; one Court recalls or takes off the Judgement of another. But neither of these ways can the Judgement of God be disannulled. If God give out a Sentence against a person, his power, how powerful soever he is, shall never hinder the execution of it; though he be (as it's spoken in Amos) as high as the Cedar, and as strong as the Oak, yet he shall not hinder the Judgement of God. And as there is no man hath power of arm; or of arms, to hinder the Judgement of God; so there is no Authority superior to, or above Gods. There's no Court above the Court of Heaven, to which appeal may be made, to get Gods Sentence disannulled, or his Judgement ⟨p. 541⟩reversed; therefore the Judgement of God cannot be disannulled.
