What shall we say of these places? are they useful to us? Or of no use. Of no use we cannot say, for the Apostle tells us, that All Scripture is written for our instruction; that we through patience and consolation thereof might have hope. And if useful, then they are to encourage us, to trust upon the same God, that God will be the same to us, that he hath been to others. Psal. 78.7. The children of Israel ⟨p. 240⟩were commanded to tell the wonders, which God had done to his people in Egypt, at the Red-sea, in the Wilderness; to their children, and they to their children, &c. And for what reason?— That they might set their hope in God, V. 7. Why what is that to them? Why, they were to learn to trust in God and hope in God for the like, if they were brought to the same straights. And certainly God would not have us hope, if he had not a purpose to do the like.

Two things there be that God will never disappoint.
