The first is, Because the godly are apt to be hasty and too quick in judging ¹these things. They do not consider and well weigh all things together. They do not compare Gods promises and his providences together; They do not set Gods word and his works together, Insipientis est aspicere ad pauca, they cast their eyes only upon that which is discouraging. They look upon the dead womb and not on the power of God, and this inconsiderateness makes them pass false judgement, Psal. 31. 22. I said in my haste I am cut off from before thy eyes, and again Psal. 116. 11. I said in my haste all men are liars. You see what hasty and sudden thoughts and words may come from those that fear God. Oh do not judge in thy rashness, do not conclude this or that in thy haste, but consider, debate and compare all things together. Moses though so meek a man, and the faithful Servant of God, yet in a sudden haste spake unadvisedly with his lips. Examine then, whether most of those thoughts whereby thou hast wronged God and wronged thy self, have not risen from unadvised hastiness. Thou sayest in thy haste, God forsaketh thee, thou sayest in thy haste, thou shalt be undone.
