Reas. 2 But add in the next place a second account or reason. Consider how quickly God can blast all the glory of the creature; this also is in the Original text, Isa. 40.7. The Spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it, and it withereth. As an East-wind goeth forth, ⟨p. 23⟩and blasteth the beauty of the Tulip and the Lily, (whose bravery Solomon in all his royal ornaments is not able to match,1) and they stand hanging down their heads as ashamed of themselves; so no sooner doth the breath of the Lords indignation go forth and smite the excellency of the creature: but that whatever it is wherein the sons of men do pride themselves, like the tree which Christ cursed, it stands scorched and withered, without either fruit or leaf. Behold, how irrational as well as irreligious, is fleshes-glorying!
