4. A doubting concerning the truth of God, or concerning his benefits, either present, or to come, Ps. 116. 11.
2. By confidence of Creatures, as 1. when a man putteth trust in the strength of the Creatures, as Jer. 17. 5. or 2. In riches, Matth. 6. 24. Eph. 5. 5. or 3. In defenced places, Jer. 40. 16. or 4. In pleasures, or dainties, and who so trusteth in these doth make his belly his God, Phil. 3. 19. or 5. In Physicians, 2 Chron. 16. 12. or 6. In the Devil and his works. Thus Magicians trust in the Devil: and Witches, and all such as seek help at their hands, Levit. 20. 6.
