7 If thou be tempted of security to be without fear.
7 If thou be tempted of securytie to be without feare.
1Say thou, Watch ye, for ye know not the hour. He that studieth, let him take heed he fall not. Adam stood not in paradise. The people of Israel, as oftentimes as they were made fat, and increased to a multitude, so oftentimes fell they backward, and forgot their lord god. David, when he was at rest, and sitting at home without resistance, he was made an adulterer and a murderer, and numbered the people in his great fury.2 So Nabugodonosor counteth him self happy. The ⟨image 58⟩rich man in the gospel promising him self ease and rest, did here. O fool. &c.3 Hezekiah in tribulation continued righteous. in prosperity he was overcome of vain glory. For the lord forsook him, and his heart was advanced. and therefore is security reproved. for through it, is neglected the commandment of god. Christ said before, that the householder being absent, and all were asleep, came the enemy & sowed cockle.
