God doth not alter, neither 1in his truth, nor in his goodness, nor in his power, although our conditions do vary: The temptation may be new, and affliction new, but God is still the same, and the Promises the same, and faith can make use of one God to conquer twenty temptations, and one Promise to bear up against many afflictions.

2. In every occurrence there is a providence, and the issues depend upon it. If Satan tempts if afflictions, and crosses, and losses, and contempts befall us, there is a Providence ⟨p. 152⟩to permit them, to order them, to direct them, to restrain them; and if we gave faith a scope to work upon that Providence, we would not be so full of doubts.
