And the reason why we get no more into the Mountain, it is because we have, and make Mountain of our own: we rest in the arm of flesh. We have been ready to say with David, Psal. 30.6, 7. I shall never be moved, thou hast made my mountain so strong. Mark you there; David had a Mountain, and it was strong; and though he acknowledged it was all from God, for he saith, Thou hast made my Mountain so strong; yet he trusted in it, as appears after by Gods punishing of him; thou hidst thy face, and I was troubled: and now his Mountain was nothing. We have had means, and those means of Gods gracious bestowing. We acknowledge that God hath made our mountain strong, it is all from God, that strength and concurrence we have: but yet for all this we rest upon our mountain, and not upon God.
