Full well Faith knows, The Ground of Comfort doth not lye in the Face of God, the aspects of God. If so, then our comforts could not be stable. This alters, as we alter, changeth, as we change: But the ground of Faiths comfort lies in the Promises: and thither it hath recourse, when from Outward appearance it can get no comfort.
