Let us not be troubled my brethren, Use. nor discouraged at the stoutness of Idolaters. They have been always stubborn and stout against the rebukes of God in his Word, and therefore let us not think it much though they stand it out now against the evident truth of God and against the works of God that apparently make against them. Revel. 16.9. They were tormented with the wrath of God, but repented not to give Him glory. Many men are ready to think that their cause is good because their spirits are so stout against all that appear against them, and slight them. Let not us have higher thoughts of them because of this, for it hath alway b•• the course of Idolaters to stand out stoutly against all the rebukes of God in His Word and Works, because the Lord ha•h an intent to destroy them.
