And at another time; Your Times and the Times of yours are in the Lord's good Hand, whose Will is his Wisdom. 'Tis one thing (as we read and observed this Morning, out of Ezek. 22) to be put into a Furnace and left there as Dross to be consumed; and another thing to be put in as Gold or Silver to be melted for use, and to have the Refiner set by. You know whom you have believed, keep your hold of the everlasting Covenant: He is faithful that hath promised. We pray for you, and we give Thanks for you daily, for the Cup is mixed, therefore trust in the Lord for ever, and rejoice in the Lord always; again I say rejoice.

To one of his Sons in Law that was a little engaged •n building, he thus writes; Be sure to take God along with you in this, as in all other your Affairs; for except he build the House, they labour in vain that build it. Count upon troublesome O•crrences in it, and keep the Spirit quiet within: And l• nor God's Time nor Dues be entrenched upon, and then all will be well.
