6. To give evidence of his wisdom and power in casting down and raising up again; according to that which 1is said of him, The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up: he bringeth low and lifteth up. On this ground, when David was forced out of his native country, and the city which he had in a strange country was spoiled and burnt by enemies, and his own 2soldiers spake of stoning him, he encouraged himself in the Lord his God.
