Therefore we should alway look up to God, he is the breath of our nostrils, In him we live, and move, and have our being, in him we stand, and in him we are delivered in the middest of all our enemies, it should stir up our hearts thankfully to depend upon God; he that hath delivered us, he doth deliver us: if he should not continue his deliverance we should be continually in extreme danger. Who hath delivered us, and doth deliver us, &c.1

- 1Christians have deliverance in troubles.
A Christian is never in so great perplexity but God is delivering of him, even in trouble: So the Church saith Lamentations 3. It is Gods mercy that we are not all consumed.
The Church was in a pitiful estate then, one would have thought they were as low as almost they might be: yet notwithstanding the Spirit of God in those blessed men that lived in those times, they saw that they might have been worse then they were: and they saw that there was some danger from which they were delivered, It is thy mercy that we are not all consumed. God delivered them from extremity.
