as the generality of the Jews looked for a carnal Rule, Glory and Dominion at the coming of the Messiah which proved their temporal and eternal Ruin. And it is to be feared that some are still sick of the same or like Imaginations. And some have put themselves on irregular courses for the Accomplishment of Promises, walking in the Spirit of Jacob and not of Israel. But whatever of this or any other kind may fall out by the unbelief of men, all the Promises of God are Yea and Amen, and will make their way through all difficulties unto an assured Accomplishment in their proper season.

Thus it is also with respect unto our Faith in the Promises of God as unto our own especial and personal Interest in them. We find so many difficulties, so many oppositions, as that we are continually ready to call in question the Accomplishment of them; and indeed few there are, that live in a comfortable and confident assurance thereof. In the times of Temptation, or when perplexities arise from a deep sense of the guilt and power of sin, and on many other occasions, we are ready to say with Zion, The Lord hath forsaken us, our way is passed over from him, as for our part we are cut off.
