Affiance, is that, whereby a man acknowledging the power and mercy of God, and in him, against all assaults whatsoever, doth steadfastly rest himself. 2. Chro. 20.20. Put your trust in the Lord your God, and ye shall be assured, believe his Prophets and ye shall prosper. Psal. 27.1. God is my light, and my salvation, whom should I fear? God is the strength of my life, of whom should I be afraid? v. 3. Though an host pitched against me, mine heart should not be afraid: though war be raised against me, I will be secure.

Hence riseth patience, and alacrity in present perils. Psal. 39.19. I should have been dumb, and not opened my mouth, because thou didst it. 2.

Be not sad neither grieved with your selves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you for your preservation. v. 8. Now then, you sent me not, but god himself.
