And then the Ninth thing is, That though Promises be not yet fulfilled, yet God is still working towards their fulfilling; 1for so he tells him, I will not leave thee until I have don all that I have promised to thee, though you cannot see how my Administrations towards you do any way work for the fulfilling of my Promise, yet know I will not leave you until I have fulfilled my Promises.

- 1Obs. 9
And then the last thing is this which God spake to us there, he tells us of the constancy of his Mercy and faithfulness, 1that however things may go with us here for a while, yet the merry of God continues, the line of Gods mercy is not cut asunder, but his faithfulness is carried along till all the good that he hath promised, or that Faith can believe shall be granted to us, for so he tells Jacob there, I will not leave thee till I have done that which I have spoke to thee of. All this he spake with us. That's the first time of Gods meeting with Jacob in Bethel.
