But our God [is] in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
Ver. 3. But our God is in the heavens] Where your terricula country, your fearful idols never were; like as one, being asked by a Papist, Where was your religion before Luther? answered, In the Bible, where your religion never was. This "but" seemeth uttered with indignation. Aξιωματικωτατος μεν εστιν ο Bασιλευς ημων, saith Basil, on a like occasion; our God is no dunghill deity.
He hath done whatsoever he hath pleased] Without either help or hindrance of any.
