A man is ready to say, he trusts me, I must not deceive him: Now the Lord keeps Covenant, and mercy for ever. When we come, and use this to him, Lord, thou art faithful, thou hast said, thou wilt keep Covenant, and mercy for ever, thou canst not do otherwise, it is thy nature, thou canst not deny thy self, and I rest on thee, I depend on thee, in such a case, it cannot be, that the Lord should fail us; I• a man will not fail one that trusts in him, certainly the Lord will ⟨p. 112⟩not, and that is an argument that is used oft, thou never failest them that trust thee.
