1. He did prize God more then what ever God could do for him; nay, more then salvation it self, Psal. 73.26. When he was dazzled with the prosperity of the wicked, ⟨p. 68⟩mark what he says, The Lord is my strength and my portion for ever; as if he should say, I esteem of God above all. A man makes an high account of his patrimony, so doth David esteem of God.1 If a man love father, or mother more then me, 2he is not worthy of me: nay, a man must love God-better then his life, Psal. 63.3. Thy loving kindness is better then life, then the life of my wife, then the life of my child, nay it it is better then mine own life.
