The Soul's Conflict with Itself

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.
