Here is thy comfort as was said before; if thou diest whilst thou lyest at anchor, having anchored on this rock, thou dyest in the ship, not in the Sea; thou dyest in the Covenant, and there is safety, though the storm never cease. Thy condition is safe, and secure, though thou do not yet apprehend the safety and security of it.

Never soul miscarried in a trusting way. There is not one example in the Word; no not one in the World, where ever man trusted in God, and was ashamed, — Psal. 22.4, 5. Our Fathers trusted in thee. They trusted, and were delivered. God hath engaged himself; he hath not only set the Sun, and the Moon, and Stars to pawn; not only Heaven and Earth, but even himself too. He hath engaged his Truth, his Mercy, his Promise, his Wisdom; and Power, to save and keep them who trust in him.

All Heaven would sink, if that soul that truly leans, and trusts in God should miscarry.
