Tho these Lions are very strong and powerful, yet God is stronger than they, and he is against them: And he in a special manner desires, saith Caryl, 1to be dealing with these, for they in the Pride of their Spirits think themselves a Match for God; tho indeed their Strength is but Weakness, and their Wisdom (notwithstanding their Fox-like Craft) but Foolishness, yet in their own conceit they are stronger and wiser than God himself. Hence (like Pharaoh) they send Defiance to Heaven, and say, Who is the Lord?
