6. The Lord promises help to Christ against his enemies, Psal. 89.21. With him my hand shall be established, mine arm also shall strengthen him. There be many against Christ, but he hath a divine furniture of strength. Hence protection is promised to him in the discharge of his Office, Isai. 49.2. In the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished sh•f•: in his quiver hath he hid me. The outlettings and manifestations of strength and furniture that is in the •ead redound• to a seasonable supply of all his afflicted ones,1 that they shall not be overwhelmed.
