The saints sacrifice

§. 40. Of Gods perfect preservation.

II. GODS succour is salvation. It freeth out of all danger. Thus much intended Moses, when the Israelites despairing of all help, he thus said to them, ^aFear y• not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord. Such was that salvation, as they had no cause to fear those their enemies any more. The like may be exemplified in other deliverances which God undertook to give: especially in the cures which Christ did in the days of his flesh. When his pleasure was to heal any, he made them ^bwhole: and for evidence thereof, ^che commanded L•pens to show themselves to the Priests, whose office it was to judge whether a leprosy were perfectly cured or no. ^dOthers that had been very weak and impotent he willed to carry their beds, that thereby is might be seen that they were perfectly cured. ^eThe dead he caused to rise up. ^fDemoniacs he charged to preach the Gospel. But the greatest and best evidence that can be given hereof, is the eternal salvation which is given to Saints, whereunto the Apostle ⟨p. 79⟩having relation, saith, ^gHe is able to save to the uttermost.
