1. A Resolution to abide with God, and to commit all unto him. This the word, as was observed, teaches us; There is forgiveness with thee, and therefore thou shalt be feared. Because this I found, this I am persuaded of, therefore I will abide with him in the way of his Fear and Worship. This our Saviour calls unto, John 15. 4. Abide in me; except you do so, ye can hear no fruit. So the Lord representing his taking of the Church unto himself, under the Type of the Prophets taking an Adulteress in vision, doth it on these terms, Hos. 3. 3. Thou shalt abide for me many days; Thou shalt not play the Harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man, so will I also be for thee. Now this abiding with God, intimates two things: (1.) Oppositions, Solicitations, and Temptations unto the contrary: (2.) Forbearing to make any other choice, as unto that end for which we abide with God.
