Lastly, they are to be blamed, that spend their days in worldly cares, so as no good thing can take place. This is the life of infidels. And where true faith reigns, it cuts off the multitude of cares, and makes us cast them on God.

Moreover, here we see what we are to do in perilous times, as in the time of plague, famine, sword, when present death is before our eyes: we must then live by faith. When Noah heard of the flood, he prepared such means as faith would afford for the saving of himself, and his family. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, §30by faith lived as pilgrims in a strange land, and were content. Moses left Pharaoh's court, and feared not the wrath of the king: because by faith he saw him that was invisible, Hebr. 11. 27. David in the fear of present death, comforted himself in the Lord his God, 1. Sam. 30. 6. When Jehoshaphat knew not what §35in the world to do, he lift up the eyes of his faith to the Lord. 2. Chron. 20. 12. Christ in his agony and passion of the cross, by faith commended his soul into the hands of his father. Of the Saints of the New Testament, some were racked, some ⟨p. 152⟩were stoned to death, and that by faith. Heb. 11. 36. We must therefore all of us, learn to live by faith: and for this cause we must acquaint our selves with the word, and promises of God; and mingle them with our faith: else shall the life of a man in the world be worse, then the life of a beast.
