O thou that fearest the Lord, what is thy desire? All my desires, says David, is all my salvation, 2 Sam. 23.5. so sayest thou All my salvation, is all my desire. Well, the desire of thy soul is granted thee, yea God himself hath engaged himself even to fulfil this thy desire. He will fulfil the desires of them that fear him, he will hear their cry, and will save them. O this desire when it cometh, what a Tree of life will it be to thee? Thou desirest to be rid of thy present trouble, the Lord shall rid thee out of trouble. Thou desirest to be delivered from temptation, the Lord shall deliver thee out of temptation. Thou desirest to be delivered from ⟨p. 151⟩thy Body of death, and the Lord shall change this thy vile Body that it may be like to his glorious Body.
