15. God hath promised to help us, to uphold us, to strengthen us, and to preserve us unto the End: 2The Steps of a good Man are ordered by the Lord; and he delighteth in his Way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his Hand. If he falls into Sin, into Temptation or Affliction, the Lord will not leave him, but help him up, and bring him out of all his Distresses: He hath promised, never to leave us nor forsake us: He hath also promised to be our God and our Guide, even unto Death; and hath assured us, That the Righteous shall hold on their Ways; and he that hath clean Hands shall grow stronger and stronger; and to put his Fear into our Hearts, that we shall not depart from him. Again, the Apostle asserts, That he that hath begun a• 3good Work in us, will perform it to the Day of Christ.

16. In a word, it cannot stand consistent with the Wisdom, Love, Faithfulness, Holiness, nor the Glory of God, to suffer any of his own Children, and redeemed Ones, to be pulled away from him by Sin, Satan, the Flesh, or this World, or any Enemy whatsoever, and Grace to come to nothing in them.
