Doth God take care for Ravens, for the Beasts of the field? Doth he feed his Enemies? and will he forget his friends? Hath he given thee a Christ? and doubtest thou he will give thee a crumb? will he not give us all things, who hath not withheld himself from us? Thus the Apostle doth reason,1 Rom. 8.32. — He that spared not his own Son, but freely gave him for us: how shall he not with him, freely also give us all things?

Sure he, who trusts God for his soul, will trust God for his Body. Faith doth not single and choose out its Object; to believe this, not that, but all coming from the same Truth,1 the same God; it believes one as well as another. He who depends on God for the many, will depend on him for the less: He who trusts God for pounds, will trust him also for pence. — If I tell you earthly things (saith Christ to Nicodemus) and you believe not: how will you believe, if I tell you heavenly things? So, if you will not believe God for earthly things; how can you believe him for heavenly things? If not for sustentation: how then for salvation?
