The pattern of wholesome words. Or a collection of such truths as are of necessity to be believed unto salvation separated out of the body of all theology made evident by infallible plain proofs of Scripture. And withal, the several uses such principles should be put to, are abundantly showed. A project much desired, and of singular use for all sorts of Christians. By N. Bifeild [sic], preacher of Gods word at Isleworth in Middlesex.The paterne of wholsome words.

The godly know in all afflictions, whom they have trusted, and ought to believe, that he will keep that, which by covenant is committed to him, 2. Tim. 1. 12. Christ hath commission from God by virtue of this covenant to say to the prisoners, go forth, and to them that are in darkness, show your selves, Esa. 49.9.10. For a small moment God may forsake, but with great mercy will he gather us: In a little wrath he may hide his face, but in everlasting kindness will he have mercy on us: For this is as the waters of Noah, &c. The mountains may depart; but his kindness, and the covenant of his peace shall not depart, nor be removed, saith the Lord, that ⟨p. 217⟩hath mercy on us, Esa. 54. from the 7. to 11.
