Nehemiah2:7
Verſe 7. Moreover I ſaid unto the King] He taketh further boldneſſe upon the former encouragement: ſo may we with Almighty God, the Sunne of our righteouſnes, the Sea of our ſalvation. Conclude as ſhe did, A company comes. God never left bating, till Abraham left begging.
Let letters be given me to the Governours] Thoſe neareſt neighbours, but greateſt enemies.
That they may conveigh me over] He committed himſelf to God, and yet petitions the King for a Convoy. In all our enterprizes God is ſo to be truſted, as if we had uſed to means: and yet the means is ſo to be uſed, as if we had no God to truſt in.
