Distracting fear is the portion of a wicked man: The troubles of the righteous are many, but their fears are few (Psal. 112.) His heart is fixed, he shall not be afraid: 'Tis not said he shall not hear evil tidings (I know no man whose ears are privileged from such reports) but he shall not be afraid. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about, (Psal. 3.6.) Though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, Ps. 23.4. are the resolves of faith: Whosoever hath much fear, hath but little Faith, Wherefore are ye afraid, O ye of little Faith? Mat. 8.26. and how can they but be afraid (when storms arise) who are of no faith; when Faith increaseth, fear decreaseth, and when Faith is come to the height, fear is gone; where there is no Faith, there can be nothing but fear, trouble and anguish shall make him afraid, that's the first effect.
