If our reliefs lay in men, many things might interrupt and hinder our succour. In many afflictions, or friends can but stand on the shore, see us, and pity us at the most, but they cannot come to us, they cannot help us.

A Sea, a storm, a sickness, a prison, may part us and our friends, us and the best of our friends and succours: but nothing can part us and our God. It is said when Joseph was in prison God was with him. 39. Gen. 20, 21. He that was with ⟨p. 107⟩Joseph in prison, with David in the wilderness, with Jeremiah in the Dungeon, with Jonah in the belly of the Whale, with Daniel in the Den of Lyons, with the three Children in the fiery furnace, with Paul and Silas in the stocks; that God will be with his people in their greatest straits and difficulties; kwhich made Dionysius say when he was going to the fire, Even here also thou wilt be with me oh sweet Christ. This is the promise 43. Is. 2. When you pass through the Waters I will be with you, so that the floods shall not drown you; and when you pass through fre I will be with you, that the fire shall not devour you, &c. And what a comfort is this to the godly.
