1. Faith establisheth the heart against humane Fears, the fear of men. Faith will banish these unlawful and tyrannical fears. It will not suffer them to enter the Throne, and take possession of the heart, Psal. 27.1.3.—The Lord is my light and my Salvation. There was his Faith — Whom then shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life, Of whom then shall I be afraid? Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: in another Psalm. — God is our hope and strength, a help in trouble ready to be found. Therefore will not we fear, though the Earth be moved, though the Mountains be hurled into the midst of the Sea, Psal. 46.1, 2.
