3. Promises against worldly cares and covetousnesse.
To curbe our hearts from co∣vetousnesse, we should meditate upon these places, Heb. 13.5. * 1.1 I will never leave thee nor for∣sake thee. Hee that gave us his owne sonne, how shall hee not with him freely give us all things, Rom. 8.32. See Matth. 6.25. to the end. Phil. 4.6. 1 Tim. 4.8. 1 Pet. 5.7.
Notes
* 1.1
There are five nega¦tives toge∣ther in the Originall that strongly affirme, as if hee should say, tell thee I will never for∣sake thee, I tell thee I will never forsake thee and so five times.
We are to pray that every thing which cau∣seth offence in the Church may be re∣moved, for which we have an ex∣presse pro∣mise, Mat. 13 41.
