2. Thereby also a man doth depart from his own Prosperity, 2 Chron. 26. 5. 'Tis said of Uzziah, As long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper: Departing then from the Lord, is a departing from a mans own prosperity.
3. Thereby also in departing from God, a man doth depart from his Refuge and shelter in the time of Adversity: As he doth depart from his own prosperity, so by departing form God, A man doth depart from his shelter, and Covert, and Sanctuary in the time of adversity. You know what God hath said, I will be a little Sanctuary unto you: In the want of a Sanctuary, God will be a Sanctuary to his people, Fear not their fear, nor be afraid, sanctify the Lord of Hosts himself, and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread, and he shall be for a Sanctuary unto you: A hiding place, a shelter in the time of a storm: When a man departs from God, then he departs from his Sanctuary, from his relief and shelter in the day of his adversity.
