Therefore if we would be bid in the day of Gods wrath; if we would have God to set his mark upon us, and write us in ⟨p. 39⟩his book of Remembrance, 1and to gather us when he makes up his jewels; If we would have him to own us then, look to it now; Get now into Christ; be provided now of a sound profession of Religion, and that will be as an Ark to shelter us in the evil day; What we know let us do, and then we shall be built on a Rock, that if waves or any thing come we shall not be stirred.

Usually God in dangerous times leaveth some ground of hope which worketh differently with men; Such as are carnal grow presumptuous hereupon; but the Godly are drawn nearer to God, upon any appearance of encouragement; the good things they enjoy from God, work in them a more earnest desire to please him.
