     * but.
       From the preceding verses in this chapter let us learn, 1.
       That God, in his providence, sets up one and pulls down
       another, as he pleases.  2.  That this world is full of wars
       and fightings, which result from the indulgence of the lusts
       of men.  3.  That all the changes and revolutions of states
       were plainly and perfectly foreseen by the God of heaven.  4.
       That no word of God can fall to the ground, but what he has
       declared shall infallibly come to pass.  For the elucidation
       of the historical parts of Scripture, it is advantageous to
       notice the writings of heathen authors:  light is thus thrown
       on many passages of Holy Writ, by shewing the accomplishment
       of the prophecies therein contained, or customs elucidated,
       which, in the course of years, or in our more northern
       latitude, would be to us inexplicable.  We have therefore
       reason to bless God for human learning, by which many have
       done great service to the readers of His blessed word.
