Two treatises the first of fear, from Isa. 8, v. 12, 13, and part…

1. The unchangeable God hath engaged himself by Promise to be with his people in all times and in all straits, Heb. 13. 5. I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. The life, joy, and comfort of a Believer lies in the bosom of that Promise, the conclusion ⟨p. 228⟩of Faith from thence is sweet and sure; If I shall never be forsaken of my God, let Hell and Earth do their worst, I can never be miserable.

2. The Unchangeable God hath promised to maintain their graces, and thereby his interest in them for ever, Jer. 32. 40. And I will make an everlasting Covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

Yea, but Lord, may the poor Believer say, that is not so much my fear, as that my treacherous heart will turn away from thee. No, saith God, I will take care for that also; I will put my fear into thy heart, and thou shalt never depart from me.
