For if we have an eye to our own power & ability, we shall have no §40cause to conceive any trust: but if we be acquainted with Gods power, and have his promise that he will aid us: then have we no cause to be afraid. Then if we see any dangers that may make us afraid, or astonish us: let us learn to have recourse to this lesson, that when soever God commandeth us to do anything, he will not fail us at our need, but rather we shall feel his presence in such wise as we ought to do him the honour to rest upon him.
