Moreover the Lord will give thee a trembling heart, and dimness of eyes, and a heaviness of mind. 66 And thy life shall be hanging before thee: thou shalt be afeard day & night, and be uncertain of thy life. ⟨p. 1007⟩67 Thou shalt say in the morning, O that it were night: and at night thou shalt say, O that it were morning: because of the fearfulness of thy heart, wherewith thou shalt be afraid, and because of the sight of thine eyes, which thou shalt see. 68 And the Lord will make thee to return into Egypt by ships, by the way, whereof I have said unto thee, that thou shouldest not go about to see it any more: and there shalt thou be sold to thine enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and none shall bye thee.

Amongst the benefits that we desire in this present life, one is to have some resting place and some harbour to lodge in. Though a man be poor yea and troubled on all sides: yet if he have some little hole to hide his head in, that he may resort thither: he careth not for all §20
