1. You who are the people of God, and have God to be your God in Covenant, 1you should live and walk by faith in a continual dependence upon your engaged, and promising God. 2 Cor. 5. 7. We walk by faith, not by sight. Hab. 2. 4. The just shall live by his faith. Psal. 115. 9. O Israel trust thou in the Lord, he is their help and their shield. ver. 10. O house of Aaron trust in the Lord, he is their help and their shield. ver. 11. Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord, he is their help and their shield. And mark the reasons annexed, why every one of these should trust in the Lord, ver. 12. The Lord hath been mindful of us; (you have had experience of his goodness for the time past, and therefore trust in him, and you shall every one of you find him to be your good God still for the time to come, therefore still trust in him) he will bless us, he will bless us, He will bless the house of Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron. ver. 13. He will bless them that fear the Lord both great and small.
