3. Your Covenant-Interest and Relation should secure your hearts against the 1fears of what God will do; You see sometimes great changes and alterations, and judgements in the earth, how terrible God is to the inhabitants thereof, what desolations he makes, how he shakes the mountains, and makes the hills to fall down at his presence, his fire burns and consumes and goes on, and no man knows the power of his wrath, nor can say, when or where his indignation will end and cease; But in all the dark and dreadful dispensations of Gods providence, the people of God have no cause to fear, for he hath an hiding place from the storm for them, and his chambers of protection for them, until the indignation be over; His eyes are over ••e righteous: it shall surely ⟨p. 100⟩be well with them that fear before him: every thing shall work for good unto them: and should public calamities involve you with other people, yet your God will either support you under them, or deliver you out of them, or translate you into a better place and condition, free from all sin and misery, and trouble, into the place of eternal rest and happiness.
