I beseech you let us look to it in time, that it may not be truly said to us, by way of upbraiding, where is now thy God? God may be strange to us indeed, let us so carry our selves, as that God may own us in the worst times. If they had said this truly: how grievous had it been to David? but it was more malice then truth. For David found experience of God; he might rather have upbraided them, where is your God? and there is no wicked man, but a man may in h•s greatest extremity upbraid him, and that in truth, where is your God? your riches, honour, and estate? where is ⟨p. 228⟩all this that you supported your self with, and bore your self so big on, that you despised all others? what is become of all now?
