The Soul's Conflict with Itself

None feel more sweet experience of Gods providence, then those that are most resolute in their obedience. After we have given glory to God in relying upon his wisdom, power, and truth, we shall find him employing these for o• direction, assistance, and bringing above of things to o•r desired issue, yea above ⟨p. 285⟩what ever we looked for, or thought of.

None feele more sweet experience of Gods providence, then those that are most resolute in their obedience. After we have given glory to God in relying upon his wisdome, power, and truth, wee shall finde him imploying these for o• direction, assistance, and bringing aboue of things to o•r desired issue, yea above ⟨p. 285⟩what ever wee looked for, or thought of.

In all cases that fall out, or that we can put to our selves, as in case of extremity, ¹opposition, strange accidents, desertion and damps of spirit, &c. here we may take Sanctuary, that we are in covenant with him, who sits at the stern and rules all, and hath committed the government of all things to his Son, our Brother, our Joseph, the second person in heaven. We may be sure no hurt shall befall us, that he can hinder; and what cannot he hinder that hath the •yes of hell and of death? unto whom •e are so near, that he caries our names in his breast, and on his shoulders, as the •igh Priests did those of the twelve Tribes. Though his Church seems a widow neglected, yet he will make the world know, that she hath a Husband will right her in his good time.
