The example of Doctor Pendleton, mentioned in the Book of Martyrs, is remarkable in this kind, the story is generally known: The Doctor was full of confidence and resolution, and professed▪ That those fat sides of his should fry in the fire, before he would yield; and yet how shamefully he forsook the Cause of God, you all know. Those who vaunt most, have many ⟨p. 204⟩times the least courage, as those creatures who have the greatest hearts of flesh, are the most timorous, as the Stag, the Panther, and the Hare. It is not enough that men, in the profession of their resolutions, speak as they think,¹ and as they are persuaded for the present; this is not to be trusted to: for he that trusts his own heart, is a fool, says Solomon, Prov. 28. It is good counsel Luther gives a German Minister, in an Epistle he writes to him; Walk in fear and contempt of your self, and pray to the Lord that he may do all things, and do not you think to do any thing, but be you a Sabbath unto Christ, so his expression is, (that is) rest your spirit in Christ.
