But a wise man is one and steadfast as the sun. He buildeth his house upon a rock, and that rock is Jesus Christ the Son of God. Therefore his house is never shaken down. Be the storm or tempest never so rough, yet it shall stand fast like Mount Zion, because his trust is in the name of the Lord. He knoweth that his name is written in the Book of Life, he knoweth that he belongeth to the Lords Sheepfold, and that no man can take him away out of the Lords hand.1 In this boldness David sayeth, Though I should walk thorough the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 2And again, the Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? And again,3 Except thy laws had been my delight, I should now have perished in mine affliction: 4when Hezekiah heard y• proud message of Sennacherib sent to him & his people by Rahshaketh, that they should not obey Ezech. nor trust to him, ⟨p. 154⟩when he said, The Lord will deliver you: and, let not thy GOD deceive thee, in whom thou trustest: he went up into the house of the Lord, and prayed unto the Lord, to save him and his people out of their hands, that all the kingdoms of the earth might know, that he is GOD alone. Even so the Apostle: Whether we live or die, we are the Lords. 5And in this boldness our saviour Christ settled himself to bear their reproaches,6 and to carry his Cross: Father, if thou wilt take away this cup from me, nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done. Thus they that are taught by the word of God, to put their trust in the Lord, and are thereby rooted and settled in him, can not be removed by any practise of Satan, but stand fast, and continue for ever.
