For Secondly, Doubtleffe the terrours here fpoken of, were thole inward feares and troubles whichaffaulted lobs fpirit, while he was compaffedwithout with outward troubles. As he was exer- cised with manifold affil &ions both as tohis body and !late, fo his foule, his minds did not efcape untouched ; Nay he was deep- ly, moft deeply wounded there. Terrors are turned upon me. Hence note. A godly man may not only be in.trouble, but under terreur.
