13 To make your hearts stable, and unblamable in holiness before God even our father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, with his Saints.
13 To make your heartes stable, and vnblamable in holinesse before God euen our father, at the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ, with his Saints.
I have planted you, you are my children, whom I have begotten in Christ. I love you, and have care over you. I have an exceeding desire to see your face. But Satan hath withstood my purpose, and found means to keep me from you. I commit my voyage to God: if it please him, that I may come unto you, to rejoice with you, and comfort you. He knoweth what is good for me, and what is profitable for you. The cause is his own. He will do all things to his glory. He will tread Satan under our feet. We can not purpose, and dispose of our selves. I know, 1that the way of man is not in him self, neither is it in man to walk and to direct his steps.
