1. There is safety no where else. If you leave your rock, you will find nothing else to be that to you, which that will certainly be, if you rely on it.
2. With him you shall be in safety. If he be your ⟨p. 391⟩fortress, all the floods and storms that can beat upon you, will not be able to harm you; you may bid defiance to all that earth and hell can do to you, Psal. 125. 1.
