Well then, if there be a God that takes care of his own in evil days, do not you be distractingly careful what shall become of you in such times; you cannot see how it is possible for you to escape, bu• 2 Pet. 2. 4, 5, 6. the Lord knows how to deliver ⟨p. 163⟩when you do not. Little did Lot know the way and manner of his preservation, till God opened it to him, nor Noah till God contrived it for him: There was no way to be contrived by them for escape. He that knew how to deliver them, can deliver you also.
Leave your selves to Gods dispose, it shall certainly be to your advantage; the Church is his peculiar care, Isa. 27. 3. I the Lord do keep it, I will water it every moment lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
The more you commit your selves to his care, the more you engage it, Isa. 26. 3. Thou wilt keep him in prefect peace whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee. He will certainly find a place of safety for his people under or in Heaven.
