We are troubled, and afraid what shall become of our souls, ⟨p. 128⟩what of our bodies, what of our Children. But Faith doth unburden the soul of these cares and thoughts: it doth quit and discharge the soul of these fears. Faith casts the whole burden upon the Lord: makes God to bear all the burden: not only the burden of sins, but the burden of cares and fears; coming to him weary and heavy laden, and by Faith casting our burden upon him, he bears all, Pro. 16.2. —Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established, Psal. 55.22. — Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee.
Wee are troubled, and affraid what shall become of our souls, ⟨p. 128⟩what of our bodies, what of our Children. But Faith doth unburden the soul of these cares and thoughts: it doth quit and discharge the soul of these fears. Faith casts the whole burden upon the Lord: makes God to bear all the burden: not only the burden of sins, but the burden of cares and fears; comming to him weary and heavy laden, and by Faith casting our burden upon him, hee bears all, Pro. 16.2. —Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall bee established, Psal. 55.22. — Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and hee shall sustain thee.
There are two things Faith establishes the soul against, 1. Against Fears. 2. Against Falling.
