If he destroy and pull down, it is done with ease; They are crushed as a Moth, Job 4.19. How easily doth a Man crush a Moth between his Fingers? with more ⟨p. 143⟩ease doth God crush his stoutest Enemies. He destroyeth the highest, the greatest, the strongest, the Lions, young Lions, with a breath, with a blast: By the blast of God they perish, by the breath of his Nostrils they are consumed, Job 4.9, 10.

Zenacherib comes against Jerusalem with a great Army of Warriors, and had, as he saith, Counsel and Strength for War: God undertakes to deal with him on the behalf of his own People, and to destroy him; but see with what ease God doth it, 2 Kings 19.17. I will send a blast upon him: I will never trouble my self to use my Artillery, or draw out my great Ordnance of Heaven, my Thunders and Lightnings against so many thousand Soldiers; I will only blow upon them, that shall be all.
