Use 1 It is a word of consolation, and it is a cordial to cheer up a mans heart, and carry him through all troubles whatsoever can be•ide him, or shall befall him. This doctrine of Justification it ⟨p. 123⟩seems to me to be like Noah's Ark, when all the world was to be drowned: God taught Noah to make an ark, and to pitch it about, that no water, nor winds, nor storms could break through, and so it bore up Noah above the waters, and kept him safe against wind and weather▪ when one was on the top of a mountain crying; Oh save me, another clambering upon the trees, all floating, and crying, and dying there; there was no saving, but for those only that were gotten into the ark: Oh so it will be, you poor foolish believers, the world is like this sea, wherein are many floods of water, many troubles, much persecution: Oh get you into the ark the Lord Jesus, and when one is roaring and yelling, Oh the devil, the devil; another is ready to hang himself, or to cut his own throat; another sends for a Minister, and he crieth, Oh there is no mercy for me, I have opposed it; get you into Christ, I say, and you shall be safe enough, I will warrant you, your souls shall be transported with consolation to the end of your hopes.
