To teach us all to tremble before this mighty God. Who can stand before him, qui tot imperat legionibus? If he will strike he wants no weapons: if he will fight he wants no Armies. All things serve his Will. He saith, to one come, and it cometh, to another go, and it goeth, to a third, do this, and it doth it. He can make use of our selves, our friends, our enemies, Heaven, Earth, Fire, Water, &c. any thing, for what end he pleaseth. There is no standing before his Armies; for they are all things, and himself to make them effectual. There is no flying from his Armies, for they are every where, and himself with them. Who would not fear this King of Nations? He that contends with him, shall find it, As if a man did flee from a Lyon, and a Bear met him▪ or went into the house and leaned upon a wall, and a Serpent bit him: Amos 5. 18, 19. No flying, no hiding, no contending. Worms kill Herod; A Fly choked Adrian, &c.1
