Oh! let the best of us know, that we may not nestle our selves in any ill course, though we have been bold with the Lord in times past that way, when we were as yet less experienced, to tempt him far, and deceive our selves, (as we have done) imagining that we shall do as well as in former days. For in this changeable world, such changes come oftest to them that change not from their evil courses, and besides, God will not be mocked. As for the bad who cry peace; their case is much worse. Thus Corah perished and his company, when yet he thought that all should have been with him still, as it had been in times past. And by this was Jezebel deceived, 1that threatened Elijah should lose his head on the morrow, little weighing what one day doth bring forth: but she a little after lost her life, and 2that in a fearful manner. For why? There is no peace to the ungodly, saith 3God. And thus Samson, though no reprobate, yet now a miserable revolter, fared; who knew not that God was gone from him, and looked to escape as he before had done, but was disappointed and deceived.
