2. Again, If Sovereignty and Dominion are proper to God, then you can never 1be brought in•o any straits, but God is able to help you, and to deliver you: for he is Lord of all. He is the Lord of life, and the Lord of safety, and the Lord of deliverances, and the Lord of comforts. All the creatures are at his command; if he will open the hearts of men, they shall pity you and help you in your wants; if he saith to one, Go and comfort such a Christian, go and counsel him, go and deliver him, be a friend unto him, he shall come unto thee, and be this unto thee: The earth is the Lords, and the fullness thereof.

3. What shall I say more? seeing Sovereignty and Dominion belong to your 1God, Therefore all the Ordinances of grace and life are at his command, and they shall yield out their strength, and drop down their fatness at his will and pleasure; he can open them, and he can let out all their joys and revivings, and consolations, they shall be effectual means of all-saving good unto you upon his command.
