And is the end of all things at hand? Are we now fallen into the last sands? why this is something to speak incouragement to us. And this is from a word.
And thus you see, Christ speaks encouragement to us, as well as he did to his Disciples here. He speaks encouragement by his word, by his works, by his promises, his proceedings: Every way he speaks encouragement: and if you die, die with this confidence; That God hath laid the foundation of the Churches deliverance, though the oppositions swell never so high. God takes it well at our ⟨p. 242⟩hands, when we do entertain and maintain good thoughts of him towards his people.—He delights in them, that hope in his mercy.—Though you have never a promise, yet to hope upon Gods nature, his love to his Church. And there is ground enough of hope from that, even his love to his Church.
