1 Be sure to make it in time of health. Woe be to those that have their promises to gather, when they should make use of them! You that sleight the promises in prosperity, shall receive no comfort from them in adversity.
1 Bee sure to make it in time of health. Woe bee to those that have their promises to gather, when they should make use of them! You that sleight the promises in prosperity, shall receive no comfort from them in adversity.
2 Forget not to treasure up all those promises which God hath made to his children, in the day of their adversity. As for example, God hath promised in all our afflictions to be with us, Isa. 43. 2. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the Rivers, they shall not overflow ⟨p. 112⟩thee, &c. he will be with you to protect and direct you, to support and comfort you. If three Saints be put into the fiery Furnace, the Son of God will make the fourth, Dan. 3. 25.
