3. In Case of unkind dealings from friends, Psalm 55. For it was not an enemy, then I could have born it, but it was thou, mine equal, my guide, and my acquaintance, we took sweet counsel together, verse. 12.13. here was the malady, cast thy burden upon the Lord, v. 22. there was the cure. The Chaldee reads it cast thy hope. The Septuagint, [Greek or Hebrew], Cast thy Care. God is power, therefore he is able to help, he is Mercy, therefore he ⟨p. 282⟩is willing. He shall sustain thee, here is Gods promise, which is his bond to secure us.
