But notwithstanding all these, or any other trials of your selves, yet God still maintains his interest in you, and your relation to himself. God hath not cast away his people whom he foreknew, saith the Apostle, Rom. 11. 2. I am the Lord, I change not, Mal. 3. 6. I will wait upon the Lord that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and will look for him, Isa. 8. 17. But Zion said, the Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me; Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the Son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet I will not forget thee! Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands, thy walls are continually before me. So Hosea 2 19. I will betroth thee unto me for ever, and Heb. 13. 5. I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
