Psalms91:5

Verſ. 5. Thou ſhalt not be afraid for the terrour by night] Thou ſhalt be freed, if not from the common deſtruction, yet from the common diſtraction. Impavidum ferient ruinae.

Nor for the arrow that flyeth by day] Sudden ill occurrences quae nec provident nec praecavent fideles, the arrows of Death ſhall come whisking by thine ears, and not hit. Quid quiſ que Hor. lib. [illegible: 1 letter]. Od. 13. vitet nunquam hominiſatis Cautum eſt in horas — Improviſa lethi Vis rapuit, rapiet que gentes.

True Faith is a Target, and ſaveth a man, if not from the ſmart, yet from the hurt of evil accidents.
