Time was, a Man was his own bottom: A bottom to himself; But it was but a Sandy-bottom. Even in his Innocency there was no Security in it. But now God hath appointed our Bottom to be out of our selves, and to be in him. And therefore our conditions are secure: the Soul that stands on this bottom, is safe, is secure.
Time was, a Man was his own bottome: A bottome to himself; But it was but a Sandy-bottome. Even in his Innocency there was no Security in it. But now God hath appointed our Bottome to bee out of our selves, and to bee in him. And therefore our conditions are secure: the Soul that stands on this bottome, is safe, is secure.
This Christ sets down in the Parable of the Ho•se built upon a Rock; that is, upon himself. Though The winds blow, the waves and billows beat; yet there is no danger of our fall.—We stand upon a Rock.
