He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his Covenant, Psal. 111. 5. In all the exigencies of your lives, you have found him faithful to this day; you are his witnesses that his providences never failed you, his care hath been renewed every morning for you; how great is his faithfulness?
