Gods warrant is enough to put us on a work, 1and will be our security in our undertaking. Where our obedience lies, there our safety lies. He runs into the greatest danger that runs out of Gods way of obedience. No safety but in Gods way. Art thou in Gods way? and do storms arise? do tempests threaten? Yet assure thy self, God will never be wanting to thee while thou art in a way of obedience to him. The Disciples met with storms, but Christ leaves them not in the storm; their obedience to Christ, brought the presence of Christ to them. Never man wanted comfort long, that went in a way of obedience. The Martyr went far upon mere obedience, but before he came to the journeys end, before he came to the stake, God gave him *in a piece of his reward before his work was done. But should thou dye without comfort, thou dyest in the ship, and not in the sea, thou dyest in Gods way, and there is safety, though thou never reach the apprehension of it.
