1Here is a ground likewise of all contentment in any condition in the world, what can be sufficient to him, that God cannot suffice? God All-sufficient is with thee, thou canst want nothing that is for thy good; thou mayest want this and that, but it is for thy good that thou wantest it, Those that fear God, shall want nothing that is good: It is a ground of all contentment, God is with them, to fill their souls to the utmost. He is made for the soul, and the soul for him: for our end is to have communion with God in Jesus Christ here, and everlastingly in Heaven; God is fitted for us, and we for him. Here is fresh comfort for the soul alway, he can fill up every corner of the soul, he is larger than our souls. Therefore let us be content, in what condition soever we are in, God is with us; therefore, let the peace of God which passeth all understanding guard our hearts: even from this very ground and conclusion, God is with us, who can be against us? Let Moses be cast into a basket of Bull-rushes, if God be with him, he shall not be drowned: ⟨p. 85⟩Let Daniel be cast into the Den, if God be with him, God will come between the Lyons teeth and him: Let the three blessed men be cast into the fiery Furnace, a fourth shall be with them, and keep them from the hurt of the flame▪ Let God be with Noah, he shall swim upon the waters, and the greater the waters the more safe he, and the nearer to heaven: Let God be with us, and we may be content with any condition whatsoever.

God All-sufficient is with thee, thou canst want nothing that is for thy good; thou maist want this and that, but it is for thy good that thou wantest it, Those that feare God, shall want nothing that is good: It is a ground of all contentment, God is with them, to fill their souls to the utmost. He is made for the soule, and the soule for him: for our end is to have communion with God in Iesus Christ here, and everlastingly in Heaven; God is fitted for us, and we for him. Here is fresh comfort for the soule alway, hee can fill up every corner of the soule, he is larger than our soules. Therefore let us be content, in what condition soever we are in, God is with us; therefore, let the peace of God which passeth all understanding guard our hearts: even from this very ground and conclusion, God is with us, who can be against us? Let Moses be cast into a basket of Bul-rushes, if God be with him, hee shall not be drowned:
