A Practical Commentary on the Epistle of Jude

4. The more deliberate our unbelief is, the worse, in times of inconsiderate passion, and in a fit of temptation it may break out from God's children. David when he spake in haste, was fain to eat his words, Psal. 116. 11. I said in my haste all men are liars, Samuel, and all who had told him of the Kingdom, I shall never live to see the promise fulfilled; so Psal. 31. 22. I said in my haste I am cut off, nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my Supplications: in a fit, discontent may break out, but 'tis presently opposed and checked, but when it groweth into a settled distemper, then 'tis worse: as that in Psal. 73. was a more lasting temptation; therefore David calleth himself Be•st, vers. 22. for his foolish and brutish thoughts of providence.
