5. You also find in the word some reviving promises for your deliverances. You have a very sweet promise in Psal. 91. 14. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: and again, Psal. 50. 15. Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee; you have done so, and he hath made a way to escape. Our lives are so many monuments of mercy, we have lived among Lyons, ⟨p. 214⟩yet preserved, Psal. 57. 4. The burning Bush was an emblem of the Church miraculously preserved.

6. There are promises in the word for the ordering and directing all the occurrences of providence to your great advantages; so it is promised, Rom. 8. 28. That all things shall work together for good, to them that love God. Fear not Christians, however you find it now, whilst you are tossing to and fro upon the unstable waves of this world; you shall find to be sure when you come to heaven, that all the troubles of your lives were guided as steadily by this promise, as ever any Ship at Sea was directed to its Port, by the Compass or North-Star.
