For although he had not altogether forgot the blessing which he had received of the hand of God, yet is it so that he did not think upon this, god hath delivered me once that I should alway have my recourse unto him: knowing that my life ham geth as by a thread except y• stay of it be on his goodness, & that from minute to minute he worketh▪ confessing ⟨p. 56⟩that by and by I should perish if he continued not still to aid me. David thought not upon this▪ and he knew also that he had failed, and so he addeth after. Lord thou hast hid thy face and behold I was troubled. So is it of Hezekiah, he was in peace, and lo suddenly God woū dead him so that the stripe was deadly, & he could not conceive any thing but such an astonishment as if God had stricken him with lightning from heaven. Therefore of necessity must it be that he received a terrible bitterness.
