into_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o eater_n but_o who_o can_v overthrow_v such_o a_o strong-hold_a as_o god_n be_v that_o be_v almighty_a woe_n be_v to_o he_o that_o strive_v with_o his_o maker_n use_v i._o if_o god_n be_v such_o a_o excellent_a strong-hold_a then_o see_v what_o a_o bosom_n you_o have_v here_o to_o flee_v unto_o that_o whatsoever_o evil_a day_n come_v yet_o if_o you_o have_v recourse_n to_o he_o for_o your_o strong-hold_a you_o may_v be_v sure_a to_o be_v safe_a and_o take_v heed_n i_o beseech_v you_o that_o you_o do_v not_o set_v up_o your_o rest_n in_o any_o thing_n on_o this_o side_n god_n when_o it_o be_v a_o day_n of_o trouble_n as_o we_o be_v threaten_v with_o such_o a_o day_n at_o this_o time_n counsel_n and_o strength_n of_o man_n and_o horse_n and_o ship_n can_v be_v a_o strong-hold_a for_o we_o without_o god_n see_v what_o the_o prophet_n say_v in_o the_o second_o chapter_n of_o isaiah_n cease_v from_o man_n who_o breath_n be_v in_o his_o nostril_n and_o if_o man_n must_v be_v cease_v from_o much_o rather_o must_v the_o thing_n that_o man_n have_v make_v be_v cease_v from_o as_o ship_n and_o pleasant_a picture_n as_o the_o prophet_n instance_n in_o that_o chapter_n now_o there_o be_v these_o three_o thing_n that_o may_v rap_v off_o your_o finger_n from_o the_o creature_n or_o make_v any_o thing_n your_o strong-hold_a on_o this_o side_n god_n now_o for_o this_o consider_v 1._o the_o inutility_n or_o unprofitableness_n of_o all_o creature-help_a in_o the_o day_n of_o distress_n in_o the_o day_n of_o god_n anger_n for_o riches_n profit_v nothing_o in_o the_o day_n of_o god_n wrath_n say_v solomon_n prov._n 11._o 4._o but_o they_o many_o time_n make_v the_o owner_n the_o more_o in_o danger_n as_o the_o gold_n ring_n have_v make_v some_o to_o loose_v the_o finger_n and_o what_o shall_v it_o profit_v a_o man_n say_v our_o saviour_n to_o gain_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o to_o loose_v his_o own_o soul_n that_o be_v a_o loss_n above_o all_o other_o loss_n thou_o have_v better_o lose_v thy_o wife_n thy_o child_n thy_o house_n thy_o land_n nay_o thy_o life_n itself_o than_o lose_v thy_o soul_n and_o yet_o thus_o many_o do_v to_o gain_v the_o world_n but_o what_o profit_n when_o they_o come_v to_o take_v away_o thy_o soul_n the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n have_v not_o so_o much_o worth_n in_o they_o as_o to_o deliver_v your_o soul_n from_o death_n or_o hell_n or_o damnation_n so_o that_o it_o cost_v more_o to_o redeem_v one_o soul_n than_o all_o the_o world_n come_v to_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o worth_n in_o they_o as_o to_o satisfy_v one_o of_o your_o debt_n for_o no_o man_n know_v love_n or_o hatred_n by_o all_o that_o be_v before_o he_o they_o have_v no_o power_n to_o pacify_v conscience_n in_o its_o distress_n the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n prove_v many_o time_n loathe_v torment_n to_o die_a christian_n and_o they_o be_v many_o time_n die_v comfort_n to_o live_a christian_n 2._o the_o mutability_n of_o the_o creature_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o mutability_n in_o the_o creature_n you_o can_v say_v the_o moon_n will_v shine_v two_o day_n together_o with_o the_o same_o face_n so_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n be_v liken_v to_o the_o moon_n rev._n 12._o 1._o the_o woman_n that_o be_v the_o church_n be_v say_v to_o have_v the_o moon_n under_o her_o foot_n i_o e._n all_o worldly_a thing_n again_o they_o be_v sometime_o liken_v to_o the_o wind_n dan._n 7._o 2._o say_v the_o prophet_n there_o i_o see_v the_o four_o wind_n strive_v upon_o the_o sea_n and_o what_o be_v those_o four_o wind_n but_o the_o four_o monarchy_n strive_v upon_o the_o sea_n of_o this_o world_n which_o shall_v be_v uppermost_a and_o so_o as_o the_o moon_n do_v not_o shine_v two_o day_n together_o with_o the_o same_o face_n no_o more_o be_v you_o sure_o the_o wind_n will_v blow_v two_o hour_n together_o in_o the_o same_o quarter_n the_o grate_a monarchy_n and_o kingdom_n be_v but_o so_o many_o stormy_a and_o violent_a wind_n and_o will_v you_o make_v that_o your_o strong-hold_a that_o be_v so_o subject_a to_o alteration_n and_o change_n in_o a_o stormy_a day_n will_v you_o go_v to_o a_o shadow_n for_o your_o refuge_n or_o shelter_n 3._o beside_o all_o this_o there_o be_v a_o corruptibility_n in_o all_o these_o thing_n so_o the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o this_o purpose_n 1_o pet._n 1._o 19_o he_o call_v there_o silver_n and_o gold_n corruptible_a thing_n which_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o account_v most_o durable_a how_o may_v all_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o world_n which_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o account_v most_o shine_a and_o excellent_a be_v wink_v it_o into_o blackness_n and_o darkness_n all_o the_o glory_n of_o man_n be_v but_o as_o the_o flower_n of_o grass_n all_o solomon_n glory_n be_v but_o that_o of_o the_o lily_n of_o very_o short_a continuance_n the_o flower_n may_v fade_v whilst_o the_o stalk_v yet_o stand_v and_o yet_o that_o within_o a_o short_a while_n will_v be_v cast_v into_o the_o oven_n the_o flower_n may_v be_v nip_v in_o the_o bub_n but_o if_o it_o be_v let_v alone_o it_o will_v fall_v of_o itself_o such_o be_v creature_n excellency_n and_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o do_v not_o set_v up_o your_o city_n of_o refuge_n on_o this_o side_n god_n and_o for_o your_o further_a comfort_n consider_v how_o god_n know_v such_o as_o be_v in_o trouble_n and_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o have_v dependence_n upon_o he_o for_o safety_n and_o deliverance_n if_o god_n people_n can_v be_v in_o adversity_n and_o god_n not_o know_v it_o than_o their_o case_n will_v be_v sad_a indeed_o but_o god_n know_v what_o all_o your_o ail_v and_o trouble_n be_v and_o will_v certain_o deliver_v you_o out_o of_o they_o all_o if_o you_o depend_v upon_o he_o and_o trust_n in_o he_o quest_n but_o be_v there_o not_o many_o that_o be_v believer_n that_o be_v cut_v off_o in_o their_o trouble_n and_o strait_n as_o good_a josiah_n and_o other_o answ_n there_o be_v seldom_o any_o that_o in_o the_o height_n of_o their_o dependence_n upon_o god_n that_o have_v act_v faith_n and_o full_o rely_v upon_o he_o for_o deliverance_n that_o have_v be_v cut_v off_o for_o you_o must_v know_v that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o have_v faith_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o act_v faith_n as_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o have_v a_o sword_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o use_v it_o many_o a_o one_o may_v be_v cut_v off_o for_o not_o use_v of_o his_o sword_n whereas_o if_o he_o have_v use_v it_o very_o like_v he_o may_v have_v escape_v and_o it_o be_v a_o say_v of_o the_o psalmist_n concern_v the_o goldly_a man_n psal_n 112._o 7._o he_o shall_v not_o be_v afraid_a of_o any_o evil_a tiding_n why_o his_o heart_n be_v fix_v trust_v in_o the_o lord_n all_o the_o while_o he_o act_v his_o faith_n on_o god_n he_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o fear_v so_o that_o this_o further_a inform_v we_o that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v never_o beat_v believer_n out_o of_o heart_n for_o in_o the_o worst_a time_n they_o have_v a_o strong-hold_a a_o good_a god_n to_o run_v unto_o and_o so_o shall_v they_o be_v save_v from_o all_o their_o enemy_n when_o they_o be_v in_o the_o great_a danger_n still_o they_o have_v a_o god_n that_o take_v cognizance_n of_o they_o when_o it_o may_v be_v their_o friend_n and_o near_a relation_n will_v take_v no_o notice_n of_o they_o thou_o have_v know_v my_o soul_n in_o adversity_n say_v david_n psal_n 31._o 7._o if_o they_o can_v be_v in_o adversity_n and_o god_n not_o know_v it_o it_o will_v then_o be_v a_o sad_a thing_n indeed_o but_o god_n know_v whatsoever_o adversity_n you_o be_v in_o and_o will_v doubtless_o deliver_v his_o i_o but_o be_v not_o many_o of_o they_o cut_v off_o by_o death_n i_o answer_v god_n will_v be_v so_o good_a to_o they_o as_o to_o deliver_v they_o from_o death_n or_o by_o death_n and_o therefore_o the_o day_n of_o death_n be_v better_a to_o they_o than_o the_o day_n of_o their_o birth_n for_o when_o they_o be_v bear_v than_o they_o come_v into_o trouble_n but_o when_o they_o die_v then_o they_o come_v out_o of_o trouble_n and_o it_o be_v better_a to_o come_v out_o of_o trouble_n than_o to_o come_v into_o trouble_n this_o be_v the_o comfort_n that_o they_o have_v that_o trust_n in_o god_n god_n know_v they_o and_o know_v how_o to_o deliver_v they_o when_o they_o do_v not_o know_v how_o to_o deliver_v themselves_o we_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v say_v jehoshaphat_n 2_o chron._n 20._o 12._o ay_o but_o god_n know_v what_o to_o do_v and_o how_o to_o deliver_v he_o and_o to_o reserve_v the_o wicked_a for_o the_o day_n of_o wrath_n for_o this_o knowledge_n of_o god_n
