Secondly, It encourages the heart against all dangers. He that trusts in God will walk through the valley of the shadow of death, and fear no evil. He dares take a bear by the tooth, or a lion by the beard. In both these the trust of the hypocrite faileth. He will work and go on boldly till he meets with opposition: he will work in a fair day, till he meets with a storm, and dangers threaten; but there he gives over. He that is not acquainted with the assurance office ⟨p. 90⟩of heaven, will seldom, if at all run hazards here on earth. True trust brings God and the soul together, but the hypocrite never comes near God: and then no marvel if he be afraid to come near danger.

That an hypocrite hath a trust of his own, a trust like himself.
