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, Rev. 2.10. And he that endureth to the end shall be saved, Mat. 24. It's perseverance in well-doing that crowns all our actions. If you have begun in the Spirit, do not end in the flesh: do not go away from the Captain of your salvation; follow the Lamb, though others follow the Beast and the false Prophet.
