4. We should think of our Dangers with consideration to the frames of hearts; what frames of heart we were then under. 1. To the frames of our hearts when in our dangers. 2. The frames of our hearts when brought from under them. 1. The frames of heart when in and under them: were not you under great fears and hurries of Soul? it may be, not knowing how it would go with your Souls, if you had gone off the stage of this life at the present. David when he was in danger, took especial notice of the frame of his spirit; Innumerable evils have compassed me about. 1He was compassed about on every side with danger; and how was it with him then?2 he calls to mind, Mine iniquities have taken bold upon me, so that I am not able to look up. And what then? O see how he prays; Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me. Remember what the frames of our hearts were in our dangers, in reference to our fears; and secondly, what in reference to our faith; so also did David, ⟨p. 98⟩when pursued in danger by Saul. My heart is fixed, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise. We are to remember our fears under our dangers, that we may be prepared better for future trials, we are to remember our faith under dangers past, that we may be encouraged for the time to come in after straits.
