As no evil is towards him, […] •e must know this, that no evil shall befall him; Now a Christian that loves God, he knows that no evil shall befall him, Psal. 56.3.9. What time I am afraid, I will trust on thee. When I cry unto thee, thou shalt cause mine enemies to […] their backs this I know, for God is for me: So that a Christian not only finds security from danger, but knowledge of it too. Nay further, the child of God is so far from fearing any evil to come nigh him, that he knows all those things that are counted evil, shall turn to his advantage, Rom. 8 28. So Phil •.1•. where he tells you what wrong false Apostles did him on purpose, to add afflictions to his bonds; Well, saith he, I know this shall turn to my salvation, through your prayers, upon a double ground he comforts himself against all their malignities.
