It is certain. Isaiah 8.20. It is called the Testimony; because it bears witness unto it self: so it is called The Truth, because it shall accomplish it self. God d••• promise Abraham a Seed like the Stars for number: and Solomon says, I am in the midst of a people that cannot be numbered; here is an accomplished Truth, 2 Cor. 1.2•. All the promises of God are Yea, and Amen in Christ. Abraham in affiance of this Truth, ventured to forsake his Country, offered to sacrifice his only son, N••• upon this Truth lays out money to build an Ark. Moses upon this Truth forsook the Court, to suffer affliction with the children of God. We must all venture on this Truth, or perish. When the soul is to leave the body, woe to him that hath no• a firm dependence on this Truth.
