They saw their sickness, they saw their wound, what did they then? They went to the Assyrian, and sent to King Jareb. They look to no higher causes of their trouble than second causes, therefore they seek to no higher means for their help but second causes. Reas. They look upon their troubles as such as befalls other men as well as them, and so look not up unto God. They are led by sense, and the second causes are before them and near to them, and God is above them and beyond them, and his ways are often contrary to sense; they know little of God, and have less interest in God; therefore it is that they little mind God in their straights, but send out for help unto the creature.
