For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall [not] perish for ever.
Ver. 18. For the needy shall not always be forgotten] Because he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. The Lord is at hand to help those that are forsaken in their hopes. Julian Lining was apprehended by Dale the promoter (in Queen Mary's days), who said unto him, You hope and hope, but your hope shall be aslope. For though the queen fail, she that you hope for shall never come at it; for there is my Lord Cardinal's grace and many others between her and it, &c. But the cardinal died soon after the queen, and (according to father Latimer's prayer) Elizabeth was crowned, and England yet once more looked upon (Acts and Mon. 1871).
