even those men that you cry most up, those whom you think to receive most from, yet when evil times come their spirits will be so stirred that if you come to them for shelter you shall find them extreme perverse: And this indeed is the day of the perplexity of a Kingdom, what sh•ll we do in this case? Mark the 7. verse Therefore will I look unto the Lord, I will wait for the God of my salvation, My God will hear me; As if he should say, If I look unto man I have little help there, little comfort there, the best of them is a briar, if I trust in men and look for any help from men, I see what they will do, verily every man is altogether vanity; therefore our condition is very sad and miserable, Lord what shall we do? I will look to the Lord, I will wait for the God of my salvation, My God will hear me; Men cannot save me, God will hear me though they will not.
