Put case a man be in trouble, Lord thou hast 1commanded, Call upon me in the day of trouble, and I will b•re thee, Psal. 50. Let the heart think of it, and go over that encouragement (it is 2rather an encouragement then a command, though indeed God lay a command on us, to be good to our own souls; it is a duty to love our selves: Therefore he commands us to go to him, to seek his face, as though we wronged him by disobedience, when we injure our selves by our peevishness, as indeed we do. God loves us better, then we love our selves) let us think of the command, and invitation; thou hast commanded me Lord, and encouraged me to come; I am now in trouble, experience teacheth me. I come to thee, thou hast said, He that sitteth in darkness, and seeth no light, let him trust in the name of the Lord. I am in darkness, and see no light now, I trust in thy name, let the heart think of the promise, and then allege it to God, and come with an obedient answer, and cast it self upon him, and trust in him.

I come to thee, thou hast said, He that sitteth in darknesse, and seeth no light, let him trust in the name of the Lord. I am in darkenesse, and see no light now, I trust in thy name, let the heart thinke of the promise, and then alleage it to God, and come with an obedient answer, and cast it self upon him, and trust in him.
