I will end with a Consolation; for who can shut up this Story with a terror? The Lord will so graciously provide for his, that in their greatest extremity they shall not be destitute of comfort. Though Mary travel in her Travel; for she was delivered in Bethlehem, whither she came to be taxed (Luk. 2.) and (likely) wanted necessary provision for her Infant and her self: behold GOD will relieve their poverty, and send them Gold from the East. As he once in a Dearth, provided for Jacobs Family in Canaan, by a store of Bread in Egypt. Comfort shall come when, and whence we least expect it. Rocks shall yield Water, Ravens shall bring Meat, rather then we shall perish; even our Enemies shall sustain us. I have ⟨p. 103⟩been young, 1and now am old; yet have I not seen the Righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging Bread.
