How great satisfaction must it be to all that believe the Divine Authority of the Scripture, that the faithfulness of God stands engaged for every line and syllable found therein? And how many blessed lines in the Bible may we mark, that respect even our outward concerns, and the happy issue of them all? Upon these two grounds, viz. that our outward concerns with their steady direction to a blessed end is •ound in the Word; and this Word being of Divine Authority, the faithfulness and honour of God stands good for every Title that is found there. I say these are grounds of such stability, that our minds may repose with greatest security and confidence upon them even in the cloudiest day of trouble. Not only your eternal salvation, but your temporal Interests are there secured. Be quieted therefore in the confidence of a blessed issue.
