In time of trouble & adversity men leave us & forsake us; in time of prosperity then they flatter as, and pretend ⟨p. 89⟩a great deal of friendship and kindness: But as no man looks upon the Dial when the Sun is under a cloud; so these very men that pretend so much of Kindness and friendship; if so be we do but come under a frown, or into trouble, then their Friendship and Kindness is at an end, as Paul said, No man stood by him when he came to be tried before Nero; all men forsook him, but God did not forsake him. The Wise man hath an expression, Prov. 17. 17. A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity; But where shall we find such a friend? and indeed where shall we find such a brother? But now if you will please God, God will stand by you when all men leave you; When you have the greatest need of God, he will then stand by you; If you be in a Prison, he will be with you; If you be banished, he will be with you: If Sin doth not part God and you, certainly no Affliction shall part God and you.
