One thing more. There lies a blessing in course for all those that put themselves under the wing of the Lord in trusting him. In the second of Ruth, ver. 12. says Boaz to Ruth, The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust; under whose wings thou hast put thy self. 'Tis •aith, and Faith only that puts us under the wings of God. Psal. 57. at the first verse, Be merciful unto me, O God, be ⟨p. 11⟩merciful unto me, for my soul trusteth in thee, yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be over-past: it is Faith that doth put a man under the wing of God. In the 36. Psal. and 7. vers. How excellent is thy loving kindness, O God, therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wing. Faith of all other graces puts a man under the shadow of Gods wing, and there lies a blessing in course (I say) for all those that put themselves under Gods wing; therefore no wonder that this great promise of protection and deliverance in the time of a Plague is entailed upon trusting in God.
