But against this fearful temptation, let us be armed with the Promise of God, to wit, That he will be the Protector of his Church; yea, That he will multiply it, even when to mans judgement it appeareth utterly to be exterminate. This Promise hath our God performed, in the multiplication of Abraham's Seed, in preservation of it, when Satan laboured utterly to have destroyed it, in deliverance of the same, as we have heard, from Babylon. He hath sent his son Christ Jesus, clad in our flesh, who hath tasted of all our infirmities (sin except) who hath promised to be with us to the end of the world. He hath further kept Promise, in publication, yea, in the restitution of his glorious Gospel; Shall we then think that he will leave his Church destitute in this most dangerous age? Only let us stick to his Truth, and study to conform our lives to the same, and he shall multiply his knowledge, and increase his people. But now let us hear what the Prophet saith more.

Lord in trouble have they visited thee; they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.1
