Indeed in some places he seems Heroic in his faith, graciously victorious over all calamities, and riding above all waves; yet in other places we find the Man a• well as the Believer; he staggers, he fears, he is giving up.

The faithful in Scripture are compared oftentimes to Trees, which though they be well rooted, yet may be shaken; and t• Noah's Ark, which though i• was a safe harbour, yet it was tossed; and to an house built o• a rock, which though it be fir• and cannot be removed, yet […] ⟨p. 21⟩may be moved; and to Stars, which though they be heavenly, yet are twinkling; and amongst them, much to the Moon, which with her light hath yet some dark spots.
