Mountains are high and lifted up, and seem to have the Preeminence: So the wicked Princes and Potentates of the Earth are high in Power, and seem to be lifted up in Pride and Arrogancy, and to have Preeminence over the Righteous.
MOuntains are high and lifted up, and seem to have the Preheminence: So the wicked Princes and Potentates of the Earth are high in Power, and seem to be lifted up in Pride and Arrogancy, and to have Preheminence over the Righteous.
II. Mountains are hard to be removed out of their Places: So the Wicked, having taken such Root in Sin, &c. 'tis very hard and difficult to remove them, and make them become plain.1 This was ('tis true) one great Design of the Ministry of John Baptist; Every Valley shall be filled, and every Mountain and Hill shall be brought ⟨p. 226⟩low, &c. But this Work is not done upon the Spirits of wicked Men; but by the mighty Power of God.
- 1Luk. 3 4.
