It is such a Grace that doth shelter and secure the Soul from all evil. Hence,1 Prov. 29.25. — They who trust in the Lord shall be safe, or, shall be lifted up on high, (as the word signifies) above men, above the World, above all storms, above all troubles; shall be set out of danger, out of Gunshot.

- 15. Faith is a Soul-securing Grace.
As Noah's Ark was carried above all waters; So Faith shall carry the Soul above all dangers. He that trusts shall be safe. So that you see Faith is an Heart-securing-Grace. We may sit down securely under the shadow of Faith.
As Noahs Ark was carried above all waters; So Faith shall carry the Soul above all dangers. Hee that trusts shall bee safe. So that you see Faith is an Heart-securing-Grace. Wee may sit down securely under the shadow of Faith.
It is a Soul-Securing-Grace. Nothing else will secure you but believing. Build as many Towers of succour as you can; Raise up as many Castles of strength, as your provisions will reach: yet all these are but Castles in the Air; there's no foundation for them, nor shelter in them. Beat, and cast out as many Anchors as you can; yet you will but Anchor on the waves; you shall never find a bottom to rest on, to secure your souls from trouble.
