Psalms118:8

Verſ. 8. It is better to truſt in the Lord, &c.] Luther on this text calleth it, Artem artium, & mirificam, ac ſuam artem, non fidere hominibus, that is, the Art of Arts, and that which he had well ſtudied, not to put confidence in man; as for truſt in God, he calleth it, Sacrificium omnium gratiſſimum & ſuaviſſimum, & cultum omnium pulcherrimum, the moſt pleaſant and ſweeteſt of all Sacrifices, the beſt of all ſervices we perform to God.

Than to put confidence in man] Quia mutatur aut fortuna, aut voluntas, aut vita, ſaith Genebrard, becauſe either men may dye, or their affections may dye, or their wealth decay.
