19. O deliver not the soul of thy turtle-clove unto the multitude of thewicked. Thy poor church is weak and defenseless as a dove, but yet her
adversaries cannot touch her without thy permission; do not give them leave to
devour her. Forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever. They look
to thee for everything, for they are very poor, and they are thy poor, and
there is a company of them, collected by thyself; do not turn thy back on them
for long; visit thine afflicted. In such pleas we also can personally join when
at any time we are sorely tried, and the Lord’s presence is hidden from us.
