Moses his self-denial delivered in a treatise upon Hebrews 11, the 24. verseMoses his self-denyall delivered in a treatise upon Hebrewes 11, the 24. verse

David showed his true thankfulness, when he would not offer unto ⟨p. 112⟩God that which cost him nothing, but would have the testimony of his thankfulness costly to him: so when the profession of religion proves costly to us, and yet we continue in it, this is a good argument of truth. In times of affliction every hypocrite; all tag and rag will be ready to come in to God in an outward profession; but usually this submission to God at this time is not out of truth. Hence that place in the 66. Psalm 3. v. where it is said, through the greatness of thy power shall thy enemies submit unto thee: in the original it is they shall lye unto thee, ¹and so it is translated by Arian Montanus, and some others, noting hereby, that a forced submission to God is seldom in truth.
