3. The Eternal God hath time enough to make all his promises good unto you; 1you need not fear that he will dye in debt unto you; Eternity never dies, but hath time enough in it.
- 1He hath time enough to make all his promises good. Though life be short, yet he hath promised to give eternal life.
4. Though your life be not Eternal, but short, yet your Eternal God hath promised to give unto you Eternal life, 1 John 2. 25. This is the promise which he hath promised us, even Eternal life: Happiness were not happiness without Eternity; Eternity of happiness is a full possession, and a present possession, and an invincible possession, and endless possession of the blessed God for ever, and ever, and ever.
