VI. And study well how great a Duty it is wholly to Trust God, and our blessed Redeemer both with Soul and Body, and all we have. Is not infinite Power, Wisdom and Goodness to be trusted? Is not a Saviour that came from Heaven into flesh, to save sinners by such incomprehensible ways of Love, to be trusted with that which he hath so dearly bought? To whom else will you trust? Is it your selves, or your friends? Who ⟨p. 282⟩is it that hath kept you all your Lives, and done all for you that is done? Who is it that hath saved all the Souls, that are now in Heaven? what is our Christianity but a Life of Faith? And is this your Faith, to distract your selves with cares and troubles, if God do not fit all his Providences to your Wills: Seek first his Kingdom and Righteousness, and he hath promised that all other things shall be added to you, and not a hair of your head shall perish; for they are all as it were numbered: A Sparrow falls not to the ground without his Providence, and doth he set less by those that fain would please him. Believe God, and trust him, and your Cares and Fears and Griefs will vanish.
