Further, The creature promiseth to protect us; hence that of Solomon (Prov. 10.15.) The rich mans wealth is his strong City: That is, it promiseth to be so, and tells him, it will do that for him, which a strong City doth for its Inhabitants, defend him against all Comers and Invaders; yet the same Solomon assures us in the next Chapter (Vers. 4.) That riches ⟨p. 178⟩profit not in the day of wrath. And Ezekiel threatens the Jews, That their Silver and their Gold shall not deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord.

Lastly, The Creature promiseth to continue with us. Riches tell us, that though Father and Mother forsake us, yet they will not, though Wife and Children forsake us, yet they will not; they make us believe that they will stick closer to us, then Christ himself, and yet they are upon the wing presently, they fly away as the Eagle, and are gone out of sight, they do not only perish in the using, but perish from our use.
