2 Of the almighty Power of God, whereby he is able to strengthen thee in all thy weaknesses, to support thee under all thy trials and temptations, to supply all thy wants, to deliver thee out of all thy dangers, to carry thee through all thy undertakings. In which respect the Apostle calleth Gods Power, a mighty Power, and an exceeding-greatness of Power, Ephes. 1. 19. A serious consideration whereof, cannot but stir thee up, as to fly unto God by Prayer in ⟨p. 2⟩all thy wants, straights▪ and dangers, so to cast thy self upon him and his mighty Power, to rest and rely upon him for seasonable help, succour, and deliverance, who never faileth those who put their trust in him.

3 Of the Omnipresence of God, of his continual presence about thee, and with thee, wheresoever thou art, and whatsoever thou doest.1 For he is about thy bed and thy path, and taketh notice of all thy actions, and when no man seeth thee, yet he seeth thee before whose Tribunal thou must one day stand to give an account of all thy actions. Surely it would be a special preservative against sin, and a singular means to make thee watchful over all thy ways and actions, if thou didst seriously consider Gods All-seeing presence about thee.
