4. Faith encourageth the Soul, that the Lord will have a Gracious Respect unto its keeping Covenant:1 In every Nation he that feareth Him, and worketh Righteousness, is accepted with Him. Surely this is no small Encouragement to well-doing: What would not a Servant do, if he knew his Lord will take it in good part? Now, Faith assures the Soul, there is not one Prayer, one Holy Desire, or one Good Thought, or Word which is spoken or done to the Glory of God, but God takes notice of it, and accepts it in good part. Then they that feared the Lord,2 spake often one to another; and the Lord hearkened, and heard it; and a Book of Remembrance was written before Him, for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon His Name.
