Well, though thou hast, yet such kind of thoughts as ¹these, to say, There is no help in God, they are wicked and sinful. God accounts it his glory to help men even when they have destroyed themselves. There is a time indeed when there will be no help for sinners; but for the time in this world, we may say as Shechaniah, in Ezra, 10. 2 Yet now there is hope in Israel, concerning this thing. Oh ²make use of that Scripture when thou seest thy self sink down even to the very gulf, Oh yet there is hope in the God of Israel for this very thing. Suppose my condition be worse I think than any in the world, yet you know, it hath not been known what God hath laid up for them that love him, there is help in God.

1. 1Answ.
2. 2A useful Scripture.
