He hath them as in a Store-house or Treasury. Pharaoh built Treasure Cities (Exod. 1.11.) or places of receipt, in which he kept either his public treasure of Gold and Silver, or his Artillery and Ammunition for War, or great quantities of Corn and Grain against a time of need. Christ saith, Every scribe which is instructed unto the Kingdom of Heaven, is like unto a man that is an Householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things both new and old (Matth. 13.52.) that is, he is not to seek, he hath them in a readiness for use, and so is himself ready to every good word and work, when any have use of him for good. We may be sure God is never to seek, nor (as we say) out of sorts, for any kind of means or instruments to carry on his service, and to effect any purpose of his, whether in wrath against the wicked, or in favour of such as fear him.
