John17:11

Verſe 11. Keep through thine own Name] The Name of the Lord is a ſtrong Tower, Prov. 18.10. A munition of rocks, Iſa. 33.18. Hither the Saints run for the ſecuring of their comforts, and ſafeguarding of their perſons, as Coneyes doe to their burroughes, all creatures to their refuges, 2 Sam. 5.6, 7[illegible: 1 letter] as the Schechemites fled to their Tower, when their City was beaten down to the ground, Judg. 9. The lame and blinde, the moſt ſhiftleſſe creatures, when they had gotten the ſtrong hold of Sion over their heads, thought then they might ſecurely ſcoru David and his hoſt, and yet their hold fail'd them. So doth not God, thoſe that flee to his Name. Pray, to be kept by it.
