Plalme Devolve super Iehovam viam tuam confide in eo commit thy way c. in Psal 62.8 trust in him at all times ye people poure out your hearts before him God is a refuge for vs. this is worthy to bee noted with no lesse then Selah in Isay 26.4 trust ye in the Lord for euer for in the Lord Iehovah is euerlasting strength This then is the diuine voice of God dixit Dominus which him selfe hath said 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and as hee hath spoke by the mouth of his holy Prophets since the world began which command implyes obedience The Rechabites are commended by the Prophet Ieremiah for that they obeyed the commandement of Ionadab the sonne of Rechab Iere 35.8 in abstayning from wine all their dayes and in dwelling in tents for which obedience the Lord promised that Ionadab the sonne of Rechab should not want a man to stand before him for euer I inferre from the Rechabites if wee faithfully trust in the Lord as not Ionadab a mortall man but the high and most mighty Iehouah hath commanded vs we shall stand before him for euer we shall dwell in the land and bee fed in faith foreuermore Reason 4 Because of the infinite profit which acreweth to those that trust in the Lord so testifieth Solomon Pro. 22.18.19 for it is a pleasant thing if thou keepe them within thee they shall be fitted in thy lips that thy trust may be in the Lord c. Againe he that trusteth in the Lord shall be made fat that is he shall be enriched with all the blessings of God Prou. 28.25 So we see that those which trusted in the Lord haue alwaies prospered and obtained victory of their enemies hitherto is that memorable victory of the people of Iudah ouer the Israelites to be referred 2 Chro. 13.18 when God deliuered them into their hand and they slew of Israel fiue hundred thousand chosen men And the reason is there rendred because the men of Israel had forsaken the Lord and trusted rather in the calues of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat which caused Israel to sinne whereas the people of Iudah kept the charge of the Lord their God and did trust in him Hitherto is that notable victory of Asa to bee referred in these words Hanan the Seer challengeth Asa the King Iudah hauing made a league with Benhadad King of Syria 2 Chron. 16.7 Because thou hast relied on Benhadad King of Syria and not relied on the Lord thy God therefore is the host of the King of Syria escaped thy hand Were not the Aethiopians and the Lubims a huge host Vers ● with very many charrets and horsemen yet because thou didst rely on the Lord he deliuered them into thy hand And yet behold a greater profit for confidence in God bringeth tranquility and security and peace of conscience as is shewed in the example of Dauid I layd me downe and slept I awaked for the Lord sustained me I will not be afraid for ten thousands of people that haue set themselues against me round about Psal 3.6.7 In a word confidence in God omnigenam benedictionem homini praestat procureth all manner of blessings A plaine and comfortable proofe is that of the holy Prophet in these words Ier. 17.7.8 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord and whose hope the Lord is For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters and that spreadeth out her roots by the riuer and shall not see when heat commeth but her leafe shall be greene and shall not be carefull in the yeere of drought neither shall cease from yeelding fruit So Dauid Psal 21.7 for the King trusteth in the Lord therefore through the mercy of the most high he shall not be moued Againe Psal 125.1.2 they that trust in the Lord shall be as the mount Sion which cannot be mooued for euer This was the promise which the Lord made vnto Ebedmelech the Ethiopian that when he accomplished his word in bringing euill vpon the city that he should be deliuered and not be giuen into the hand of the men of whom hee was afrayd Ier. 39.17.18 for I will surely deliuer thee thou shalt not fall by the sword but thy life shall be a prey vnto thee And why all this mercy Because thou hast put thy trust in me sayth the Lord. In respect of the great profit and the exceeding great reward that followeth our confidence Good reason that we trust in the Lord Reason 5 Because of the prouidence of Iehouah whereby hee defendeth and preserueth those that trust in him Hence saith Dauid I will lay mee downe in peace and sleepe Psal 4.8 for thou Lord only makest me dwell in safety Thou by thy prouidence preseruest me Hence is that of Esay Isay 26 4.
