The deceit fùlIe oMan! heart. 33 who kept their garments of faith and good con - fcience fart on, for all the (baking of the boyfterous winds, which then raged molt fiercely, yet after- ward by the flattering rayes of that Tweet fun-Thine which followed,were ticed to unbutcen themCelves, and throw offcheir coares, at leaft, to weare them more loofely. How chatte was Davidin his aflliai- ons ? .flan hundred B.ath/hebaes had then met him in the wildernefle , hee would not much have beene moved. But we know afterward , when hee was at reft in his Kingdon e, how feare fully he was foy- led. So that that which once thofe women fang of Sax! and David, by way of joy and congratulati- on, may we as truly fing of chele two trials , by way of mourning and lamentation. Adverficy hath Elaine his thoulands , Prolpericy tenne thoufands. Thefe two of all others are the Coreft trials and have greateft force of deteting; efpecially, when they Ecorne both together, as in the three children ; who at once were tried , both by the fweetneffe of the ,mufick, to enchant their Cenfes, and by the ter_ Ì rour of the fire to affright and aftonifh their hearts. And Co have many holy Martyrs been tryed both wages, both by the threatnings, and by the faire and large pronniles of their adverfaries. Contrary to that God gave in charge to Labatt , to (peak neither evil! norgoodto Iacob, that is, neither by flattery, nor force to goe about to bring him back again. And this arguech no -able foundnefle in- deed , when in both thele trials together , we can acquire our lelvcs.
