CHAP. LVII. Of Gods providence.
CHAP. LVII. Of Gods prouidence.
Every one that leadeth a godly life, and trusteth in God his Providence, shall find that in extreme dangers he will put such things into their minds, that they shall be cheered and comforted, when others shall be disquieted and dejected. This we may see in the parents of Moses, because they believed, and led a godly life, Heb. 11. This is the blessing, but the wicked shall want this good issue: for the Lord will punish their wickedness in such a case; as appeareth in the time of the glorious Martyrs, who lived well before, and in their deaths were crowned, but Apostates had their former hypocrisies punished, and in such danger they shall not know what to do: but the godly trusting in Gods providence, if they have a way to escape, shall have their life for a prey, but if they want this way, yet they will offer themselves a sacrifice to the Lord.
