Again, whereas Christ is true in all his ways, we ought without all doubting to believe his word, and all the promises made therein, that concern our salvation. If Christ could err or lye, and men be deceived by him, then they might justly doubt of the truth of his word: but seeing he is true in all his promises, we must believe in him: and in all our distresses either of body or mind, depend upon him: for he hath made a promise to help, and he will never fail them that rest on him.
