2. This abiding or decaying, must not be judged by carnal reason, but by the eye of Faith It's enough that to the godly and Believers, though but a few, truth is acknowledged, though the greater part of the world vote for an error. Christ himself was not owned for the Messiah, but by a very few that had the eye of Faith; the greater part denied him. To every mans eye, the Sun is less then the whole world, but to art it is far bigger. That therefore is said to abide the fire, which indeed, and to the eye of Faith doth so. Wisdom is justified of her Children, Mat. 11.19.

3. We told you, Though the day of Judgement was not principally intended, yet we could not wholly exclude it neither. And then the truth and sound principles of faith will abide, when errors shall call for the mountains and hills to cover them.
