Pretty is the Parable of Jotham, The best Trees refused to be King, but the Bramble affected it; and did (sperare & aspirare) hope and aspire it, Judges 9. 15. So in 2 Kings 14. 9. The Thistle that was in Lebanon, sent to the Cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy Daughter to my Son to Wife. Hagar the Kitchen-maid will be proud, and insult 1over her Mistress Sarah. The poor Sons of Zebedee would sit at Christs right hand, and left. And those that Job disdains to sit with the Dogs of his flock, yet contemn him in the day of his sorrow. The foot strives to be equal with the head, the Servant, as the Master; the Cobbler, as the Councillor; and the Peasant, as the Prince, &c.
