A. First, to trust in God, no less when we have them, then when we want them. Secondly, by hope, 1patiently to attend for all things that we need, at Gods hands: not only when we have the means, but also when we want all apparent means; as was the condition of the Israelites in the desert: yea, when the means shall seem contrary, as it was in the case of the 2three companions of Daniel, & of Daniel himself; and ⟨p. 93⟩as Job profest he would do, saying, I will trust in God although 3he kill me. Thirdly, by humility, to cast our selves down before God, acknowledging our insufficiency in our selves; and therewith also to season all our behaviour, both towards God, and man. Contrary whereunto is presumption, whereby we use to glory and boast of our selves, and our own strength and goodness.
