God is said to ride on the Heavens for his peoples help, Deu. 33.26, 27. That is either, he will come speedily (as the heavens move swiftly) for his peoples deliverance, ⟨p. 50⟩he will not delay till it be too late, but prevent them with his love. Or, he hath power and will command all his creatures to be serviceable to his Churches safety, he rideth on the Heavens for thy help. As a man that rides on an horse, can command it, or turn it, and wind it with a curb and bit, which way he pleaseth; so can the Omnipotent God, command the Heavens and all their Host, for his peoples help. Though enemies come with open mouth to swallow the Church up quickly, yet she will be gravel in their teeth, and should they ever take her down, as the Whale did Jonah, yet God will force them to vomit her up again, and make them find by woeful experience, that she is too hard a morsel for the strongest persecutors stomachs to digest.
