Psalms125:3
Verſ. 3 For the rod of the wicked ſhall not reſt] Fall upon the lot of the Righteous it may, notwithſtanding that former promiſe of Gods protection; but hee will take care they bee not tempted above that they are able, 1 Cor. 10. hee ſets the time, and appoints the meaſure, Pſal. 30.5. Rev. 2.10.
Leſt the Righteous, &c.] Overcome by impatiency, or drawn aſide by the Worlds either Allurements or Affrightments ſhould yeeld and comply, or ſeek to help themſelves out of trouble by ſiniſter practice. God (ſaith Chry[illegible: 1 letter]oſtom) doth like a Lutaniſt, who will not let the ſtrings of his Lute bee too ſlack, leſt it marre the muſick, nor ſuffer them to bee too hard ſtretcht or ſcrued up, leſt they break.
