[ 552] The excellent connexion of the Scriptures of God.

THe Heathen said, That there were three things impossible to be done, Eri∣pere Iovi fulmen;* 1.1 Herculi clavam; & Homero versum; to pull Iupiters Thun∣der-bolt out of his hand, Hercules Club out his hand, and a Verse from Homer; for they thought there was such a connexion between Homers Verses, that not one Verse could be taken away, without a great breach in the whole Work: But this may much more be said of the Scriptures of God, there is such a coherence, such a connexion, such a dependance, that if you take away but one Verse, the whole will be marred; all the Books of Scripture being like a chain linked together, except the Book of Solomons Proverbs, which is like a bag full of gold Rings, every verse being one entire and distinct sentence.
