1 Learn to trust the Lord, and not man,1 for God is an everlasting refuge, Psal. 146.3, 4.2 Put not your trust in Princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help, &c. that which they can do for you, is but for this life at most; trust in him that is able to defend you for all eternity; for he that made heaven and earth, he continues for ever. This use you have made of it in Psa. 90.1.3 LORD, thou hast been our habitation for ever and ever: as if he should say, Lord, thou wast an habitation (that is, a refuge, as our house is) to the Churches, thou wast so in Abraham's time, in Pharaohs time. Consider, that God is not only an habitation to his Church from generation to generation, but also from everlasting to everlasting.
