By virtue of this Presence we are here this day, in the enjoyment of Gospel Liberties; no Society of Men in the World have such security as the Church hath upon this account. The mightiest Monarchies have been over-turned, no Policies nor humane Power could preserve them; but the Church and Ordinances are still preserved, and shall ever be by virtue of that gracious ⟨p. 32⟩Promise, Jer. 30. 11. For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee: though I make a full end of all Nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee.
