Secondly, as for the protection promised in the time thereof, you have that in the general at the first verse, He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty; more particularly at the third verse, Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, from the noisome pestilence: He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust. His truth shall be thy shield and buckler, at the 4th verse. At the 5th and 6th verses again, Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noon-day. And again, A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: (in the 7th verse) but it shall not come nigh thee. In the 10th verse, No evil shall befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh ⟨p. 6⟩thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. And at the last verse, With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
