The new Wine shall fail.

The words are in the Hebrew, It shall e unto them. The like word we have in Hab. 3. 17. The labor of the Olive shall fail: in the Hebrew shall lie, (that is) it shall not perform what it seems to promise to you;

We are ready to promise to our selves great matters from the creature,* 1.1 or rather think that the creature promises much to us, but we shall find all but a lye; let us learn to promise nothing to us but from the Word that will never lye. Whatsoever you promise to your selves (I say) let it be grounded upon the Word, but if you promise to your selves great matters from any creature, you will find a lye in the Conclusion. We often lye to God in not answering our good begin∣nings, and it's just with God that the creature should even lye to us, and not accomplish what they seem to promise to us.

Lastly,* 1.2 That which men think to get in a way of sin, they shall fail in at last; The way of the wicked shall deceive them, they shall not find what they expected in the waies of sin. The Saints they shall find more than ever they ex∣pected from God, but the wicked shall find less than that which they expected from the Creature. But there is not much difficulty in this Verse, therefore we pass it over briefly.
