Isaiah29:16
Ver. 16. Surely your turning of things upſide down] your denying the Divine Providence and Omniſcience, Heb. Invertere veſtrum whereby ye go about to pervert the whole courſe of nature, and to put all into a confuſion.
Shall be eſteemed as the Potters clay] Shall be confuted by a very familiar compariſon. Calvin readeth it thus, Shall be eſteemed as the Potters clay: i. e. is as eaſily effected as he maketh a veſſel at his pleaſure.
For ſhall the work ſay of him that made it, He made me not?] It ſhould ſay ſo upon the matter, by denying his knowledge of it. The Watch-maker knoweth every pin and wheel in it; ſo the Heart-maker knoweth every turning and winding in it, were they more then they are.
