As for the persons whom this promise of Protection is entailed upon, they are such as do trust in the Lord. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High; that say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress: my God, in him I will trust, verse 2. And at the 9th verse, Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation: there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night: nor for the arrow that flieth by day, at the fifth verse. And as for the means, and way, and mode how God will deliver in the time of the plague, he will do it by his Angels; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his Angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, &c.

From all which then, I take up this Doctrine or Observation: Though the danger, evil, and misery of the Pestilence be exceeding great, yet God will in an especial manner protect and deliver those that do trust in him in the time of a plague.
