¶ Vers. 31. I haue cleaued to thy testimonies, O Lord confound me no•
IF ever good man had occasion by crosses to forsake his profession, and hold of piety, David had: never was man more beloved of God, yet never was man so molested by men, remember his troubles and his truth will appear. Did he now forsake his standing: abandon his general: or start aside like a broken bow? no he did not. In the Lord was his delight, in Gods word was his comfort. He did cleave so fast unto the word of God, in which his will is testified to man, that no trouble could make him to forgo his hold. Me thinks I may bring in here Paul speaking as David doth. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or naked ••sse, or peril, or sword? As it is written, for thy sake are we killed all the day long: we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. Nevertheless in all these things we are more then conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come: Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall b•e able to separate us from the love of GOD which is in CHRIST JESUS our LORD. Rom. 8. 35. &c.
