6. Will not you put your trust in God, since it is his due, it belongs to him of right? it is a part of your Spiritual Homage which you owe to God: Religious trust doth so belong to God, that it will be Idolatry to place it in any thing besides, Psal. 115.7, 8, 9, 10, 11. It doth so properly and solely belong to God, that it is a Periphrasis of God to be the confidence of all the ends of the earth, Psal. 65.5. Give to God the things of God, and give to the Creatures no more than belongs unto them: You have nothing else to trust to, you must not place Religious trust in men; not in great Men and Nobles, Psal. 118.8, 9. nor in Riches, 1 Tim. 6.17. not in Horses and Chariots, Psal. 207. not in your own Righteousness and Religious duties, Ezek. 33.13.
7. Will not you trust in God who is so nearly ⟨p. 278⟩related to you? Men are apt to trust too much in their earthly Friends and Relations: We put civil trust and confidence in our near Relations, because of the affection that they bear unto us: Thus Children trust to their Parents, and Wives in their Husbands, and one Friend in another; God is your Father, your Husband, and your Friend, and yet will you not put your trust in him?
