It is one (and not the least) part of the power of the redemption of our Saviour that he gave himself for us, that he might deliver us from this present evil world. Gal. 1. 4. not because world only, or evil alone, but from the presentness of it, to deliver and free our hearts & apprehensions, from the two much attending and false conceiveings of those present appearances of these false lying vanities; we cannot judg amiss if we look at the end of Godly men, and a Godly life, not at the present inconveniences that are light and momentary which do attend them. Psal. 37. 37. Consider the upright and mark, the end of that man is peace. Perplexed he may be but his end is, he will be pardoned, full of doubts and distractions but his end is to be settled and quieted for ever, you have heard of the patience of Job, and of the end that the Lord made with him, judg that well, and you will not miss to judg aright, James. 5. 11. see what end sin and a sinful course make and then you will not pass sentence amiss.
