He trusts in God reconciled in Jesus Christ that flies to him in extremity: 1that a man trusts unto, that when he is pinched he flies unto. How shall a man know that he is a covetous worldling? if he be in extremity, he 2goes to his purse, he makes a friend of that. How shall a man know that he trusts to the arm of flesh, that he trusts his friend too much? in extremity he runs to him, presently he goes to a friend he hath: what we run to, that our trust is in. A Christian he runs to his God: and happy is that Christian that is in Covenant, that he hath a God to run to in all extremities, in sickness, in death, at all times: he is happy that he hath a God when all fails to trust in.
