David to save his life, was fain to run from 1king Saul and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph, & Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand. David was not only without aid or hope of aid, but also without sustenance, & looked when he should be taken, & thought it not possible to escape: for Saul & his men compassed David & his men round about to take them. But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, hast thee, and come, for the Philistines have invaded thy Land. Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing David: and thus poor David was delivered.

The prophet David found himself disquieted at the worldly prosperity of the wicked, & saith, As for me, my feet were almost gone, my 3steps had wellnigh slipped: for I fretted at the foolish when I saw the prosperity of the wicked, &c. then thought I to know this, but it was to painful for me, until I went up into y• Sanctuary of God, then understood I their end. Surely thou hast set them in slippery places, & castest them down into desolation. How suddenly are they destroyed, perished, & consumed? As for me, it is good to draw near unto god: therefore have I put my trust in y• Lord god, that I may declare all thy works.
