Pro. 4. That this conspiracy hath a great many friends, favourers, and confederates. It hath the greatest strength of men on its side, and is daily growing and increasing, Psal. 3. 1. How are they increased that trouble me? It may be said of this, as of that of Absalom, 2 Sam. 15. 12. The conspiracy was strong, for the People increased continually with Absalom. The great men of the World are wont for the most part to engage in it, Psal. 2. 2. The Kings of the earth set themselves, and the Rulers take counsel together. And the little ones are apt in greatest number to follow their leaders, especially in that which is evil, to which they are drawn by a natural propensity: yea, this malignity spreads so far as to draw many People, and join hearts and counsels and confederacies in it. Psal. 83. 5, to 8. The Tabernacle of Edom, &c. The army of the Saints are but a little flock, their enemies fill the country: What these politic heads contrive, they have a multitude of hands ready pressed to put in execution.
