Thanks be to God, which doth make us able through his grace, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for his sake. He is faithful, and will not suffer us to be tempted above that we are able, but will even give the issue with the temptation, that we may be able to bear it. He hath bidden us call upon him, in the day of trouble, and he will deliver us. Commit thy way unto the Lord, 1and trust in him (saith the Prophet) and he shall bring it to pass. I have set the Lord always 2before me, for he is at my right hand: therefore I shall not slide. And again: The 3Lord is with me: Therefore I will not fear what man can do unto me. It is better to trust in the Lord, than to have confidence in princes.
