Object. But you will say, Had we a particular Word of Christ, that God would now deliver England: we could then find a Bottom of Comfort, though our conditions lay far lower then they are. But we want that. Therefore are we oppressed with fears.

Ans. You have as much Word for the deliverance of the Church now, as the Disciples had for the Preservation of the Ship. Yet they believed the one, resting only upon the Nature of a Saviour, without a word: and why should we doubt of the other, though we had no word.

There may be a Resting upon Gods Name for a mercy, Though you have never a Promise for it. Isa. 50.10. He ⟨p. 230⟩that walketh in darkness, and sees no light: no light of any Promise, to tell him how things shall be: Yet let him trust upon the Name of the LORD, and stay himself upon his GOD. There is Trust without Promise. He that Rests upon the Name of the Lord; that is, his Mercy, Goodness, Truth, Love, Rests upon that which is the spring of all the Promises: the ground, and foundation, whereon the Promise stands, and that into which all the Promises are resolved, viz. The Name of God.
