the_o bucket_n itself_o a_o whole_a bucket_n of_o water_n be_v no_o great_a matter_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o main_a ocean_n it_o be_v but_o as_o a_o thing_n of_o nothing_o but_o then_o the_o

behold_v say_v the_o prophet_n the_o nation_n be_v no_o more_o they_o be_v unto_o god_n but_o as_o the_o drop_n of_o a_o bucket_n and_o if_o that_o will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n to_o diminish_v the_o creature_n and_o to_o set_v up_o god_n in_o his_o greatness_n you_o have_v another_o similitude_n use_v similitude_n 2_o the_o nation_n say_v he_o be_v as_o the_o drop_n of_o a_o bucket_n and_o they_o be_v count_v as_o the_o small_a dust_n of_o the_o balance_n now_o you_o know_v that_o the_o balance_n itself_o that_o hang_v in_o the_o shop_n to_o weigh_v thing_n by_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n no_o very_o ponderous_a or_o weighty_a thing_n but_o the_o dust_n that_o lie_v upon_o the_o balance_n that_o be_v so_o poor_a and_o mean_v and_o inconsiderable_a a_o thing_n that_o it_o do_v not_o cast_v the_o balance_n either_o this_o way_n or_o that_o way_n and_o behold_v say_v the_o prophet_n the_o nation_n be_v no_o more_o they_o be_v unto_o god_n but_o as_o the_o drop_n of_o a_o bucket_n and_o be_v count_v as_o the_o small_a dust_n of_o the_o balance_n and_o if_o neither_o of_o these_o will_v satisfy_v see_v a_o low_a expression_n yet_o then_o either_o of_o both_o these_o at_o the_o 17._o ver_fw-la of_o the_o same_o chapter_n 17._o verse_n 17._o say_v he_o there_o all_o nation_n before_o he_o be_v as_o nothing_o and_o they_o be_v count_v unto_o he_o as_o less_o than_o nothing_o and_o vanity_n i_o say_v do_v but_o view_v the_o greatness_n of_o god_n according_a to_o these_o expression_n and_o according_a to_o these_o proportion_n and_o then_o you_o will_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o he_o shall_v dispose_v of_o nation_n at_o his_o pleasure_n since_o he_o be_v so_o infinite_o above_o they_o and_o they_o so_o infinite_o below_o he_o it_o be_v no_o more_o for_o the_o great_a god_n to_o have_v the_o command_n and_o disposition_n of_o all_o nation_n than_o it_o be_v for_o the_o great_a man_n upon_o earth_n to_o have_v the_o disposition_n of_o a_o penny_n nay_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o for_o a_o penny_n be_v something_o in_o the_o great_a man_n purse_n but_o all_o nation_n to_o god_n be_v as_o nothing_o say_v the_o prophet_n and_o they_o
