1. He will secretly support them, so that they may say as Paul did, in 2 Cor. 4. 8, 9. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed. God dealt with the basket of good figs, in Captivity, as Christ did with Peter, who first let him see his own weakness, in the water, then quickened him to cry unto him for help, and then stretched forth his hand and upheld him. Mat. 14. 30, 31. So the Lord left the Church so far that they complained my hope is perished from the Lord, yet speedily raised ⟨p. 10⟩them up in sight of his mercy to trust and hope in him. In like manner, he supports believers.
