Psalms33:16
16. There is no king saved by the multitude of an host : a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
He instanceth in these, as the most potent and uncontroll able persons in the World, and most Confident of themselves, and least sensible of their Dependence upon God. By which he strongly proves his general Proposition, of God's powerful Providence over all Men.
But only by God's Providence, who disposeth of Victory and Success, as he pleaseth, and that frequently to the weakest, and most foolish side, Eccles. 9. 11.
