THIS is that which we are called unto, Isa. 45. 22. Look unto me, and be saved, all ye ends of the Earth. On this look to Christ, on this view of his Glory depends our whole Salvation; and therefore all things that are needful thereunto, do so also: This is the way whereby we receive Grace and Glory. This is the Direction given us by the Holy Ghost for the attaining of them.
SO is the same Duty described, Micah 7. 7. Therefore I will look unto the Lord, I will wait for the God of my Salvation; my God will hear me. The Church knew not any other way of Relief, whatever her Distresses were.
