All sound safety, and boldness proceedeth from sincerity Doct. of heart, and integrity of life. livery religious man that feareth ¹the Lord, hath this promise Psal. 112. 7. 8. That no evil tidings shall make him afraid, because he believeth in the Lord: if all the world would tell him of peril, when God himself doth warrant him safety, he will give most credit to him that hath most truth, and most power also to dispose of all events. And his heart is not as a pole that is pitched up, or a stake that is sticked up, which every hand may pluck away, or every blast of wind may blow down, nor like a dry wall without a quoin or buttress, or any other binding to fortify it: but it is fixed and established as a tree that is well rooted, & groweth strongly, or a building that hath a sure foundation, and standeth fast, and so is freed from fear and all slavish terror.
