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.

And now what remains, but that I press you as before, 1. To enter into this Chamber of Divine Faithfulness. 2. To shut the Door behind you. 3. And then to live comfortably on it in evil days.
1. Enter into this Chamber of God's faithfulness by faith, and hide your selves there. Every man is a Lye, but God is True, eternally and inchangeably faithful; O exercise your faith upon it, be at rest in it!
