A good man must trust to Gods blessing on his labours, in things that depend upon his gracious providence, and the disposition of things by it, rather than to any other course wherein his wit may seem to make matters more certain. Let us show our faith by trusting also on God to bless our children, and by leaving proofs even at our dying, that we be mindful of heaven, and that we make no doubt but God will perform his promises. If our faith show it self by these good effects, it is true; and we must more and more see our weakness in faith, by the contrary effects, and more and more labour to prove the truth and strength of it too, by its more and more producing those and the like effects.
