How much less shall I answer him Since no creature can resist his power, and no man can comprehend his counsels and ways, how can I contend with him; answer his allegations and arguments produced against me? Whom though I were righteous Though I had a most just cause, and were not conscious to myself of any sin; yet would I not answer That is, I durst not undertake to plead my cause against, or maintain my integrity before him, because he knows me better than I know myself, and because I am wholly in his hands and at his mercy. But I would make supplication to my judge That he would judge favourably of me and my cause, and not according to the rigour of his justice.
