1. Gods care over weak Christians is such that he will not suffer them to be tempted above what they are able, but with the temptation will make a way to escape, that they shall be able to ••ar it. God doth consider we are but dust; and the wise Physician of our souls will mercifully weigh every grain of every dose, and will not outmatch their strength whose strength is small.
