because_o flesh_n and_o blood_n find_v this_o a_o hard_a task_n to_o depend_v thus_o on_o god_n though_o there_o be_v very_o many_o think_v it_o a_o easy_a lesson_n and_o will_v say_v that_o they_o hope_v in_o god_n and_o now_o they_o have_v do_v what_o they_o can_v will_v not_o trouble_v themselves_o further_o therefore_o let_v we_o examine_v how_o the_o case_n stand_v with_o we_o by_o a_o

these_o two_o fear_v and_o care_n i_o may_v not_o unfit_o compare_v unto_o those_o two_o brethren_n rechab_n and_o baanah_n of_o who_o we_o read_v 2_o sam._n 4.5_o 6._o for_o as_o they_o slay_v

while_o we_o think_v it_o rest_v itself_o secure_o on_o god_n so_o that_o first_o the_o faithful_a man_n fear_v not_o i_o will_v trust_v and_o not_o be_v afraid_a isaiah_n 12.2_o though_o he_o find_v many_o want_n in_o himself_o no_o succour_n from_o other_o yea_o though_o there_o arise_v impossibility_n in_o his_o conceit_n yet_o he_o be_v like_o abraham_n rom._n 4.18_o 19_o 20._o he_o believe_v in_o hope_n above_o hope_n not_o stagger_v at_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n and_o thus_o he_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n even_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o power_n and_o omnipotency_n as_o be_v there_o testify_v of_o abraham_n again_o the_o faithful_a man_n be_v not_o careful_a that_o be_v distract_v with_o immoderate_a and_o excessive_a care_n as_o if_o his_o care_v and_o muse_v can_v any_o thing_n alter_v the_o case_n no_o he_o know_v that_o what_o god_n have_v determine_v shall_v be_v effect_v though_o he_o cast_v about_o never_o so_o many_o way_n to_o fulfil_v his_o own_o

that_o roll_v our_o burden_n upon_o god_n and_o load_v ourselves_o still_o with_o a_o burden_n of_o care_n and_o fear_n can_v well_o meet_v together_o sign_n 2_o second_o faith_n as_o it_o cast_v
