For Gods children go not far off from him,1 (as it is in verse 27. Lo, they that are far off from thee, shall perish) they may have their thoughts unsettled a little concerning Gods providence:2 but they run not far off, they go not awhoring as carnal men do. They begin to •lip; but God hath a blessed hand under them, to recover them, that they do not fall away, that they fall not foully. They may slip, and fall a little to stand better, and surer after; but they go not far off, as wicked men do: they never slip so low, but Gods goodness is lower to hold them up: he hath one hand under them, and another hand above them, embracing them, so that they cannot fall dangerously. This is the second, from this that we see here, he recovers out of this conflict.
