Leg. 19. Keep up precious thoughts of God under the sourest, sharpest, and severest Dispensations of God to you, Psal. 22.1, 2. and 3. My God, my God, Why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not, and in the night season, and am not silent; There was the Psalmist under smart dispensations: but, what precious thoughts hath he of God under all? But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praise of Israel: though I am thus and thus afflicted, yet thou art holy. Psal. 65.5. By terrible things in Righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation.

Leg. 20. Hold on, and hold out in the ways of well-doing, in the want of all outward encouragements, and in the face of all outward discouragements. It's nothing to hold out, when we meet with nothing but encouragements; but to hold out in the face of all discouragements is a Christian duty, Psal. 44. Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of Dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death; yet have we not dealt falsely in thy Covenant; our heart is not turned back, neither have we declined from thy ways; 'tis perseverance that crowns all. Be thou faithful to the death, and I will give thee a Crown of life,
