The same blasphemy is made use of by the master, as by the servant. It only riseth a little higher. He charges God with deceiving Hezekiah and bids him beware of it. Whereas Rab-shakeh only begged Hezekiah not to deceive himself. Reader! to what a desperate state of horrible impiety is the mind of men capable of being carried! Is it not enough to make one tremble, when we consider that all men are alike by nature Oh! dearest Lord Jesus! what do I owe thee, thou dear Lord, and what is the everlasting love I ought to pay thee for thy distinguishing grace!
