2. Nor the Battle to the Strong. Rabshekeh telleth us, That Counsel and Strength are for the War, Isa. 36. 5. But many times great Strength is foiled, and a small Army overcomes a greater. The Strength of the Mighty doth not always avail them to fight and conquer. Thus was Goliath foiled by David, 1 Sam. 17. 50. And Gideons three hundred overthrew the mighty Host of Midian, Judg. 7. 7. And we are told, Psal. 33. 16. There is no King saved by the multitude of his Host, and a mighty Man is not delivered by much Strength. And 1 Sam. 14. 6. There is no restraint to the Lord, to save by many, or by few.
