The sad effects of not giving unto God his due Glory. [ 1603]
IT was the frequent affirmation of the late Heroick and Victorious King of
Sweden,* 1.1That he feared the Peoples ascribing too much of that Glory to him which
was duè to God, would remove him before the work was finished. And for ought as
any Man knowes, it was a speech too Prophetical: Thus it is, that there is
not any way speedier to bring Iudgments upon Rulers and Nations, then when
the due honour shall be taken from God, and ascribed to Men, which are but
secondary,* 1.2 subordinate Instruments to convey them: It is the onely way to
forfeit all favours, when we ascribe too much to the second causes, and too little
to the first, by looking more to them for safety, then to him from whom all de∣liverance
cometh.
