The holy Apostle doth take in trust here the time to come, he speaks as if he were assured of that as of any thing past; and he doth found his hope for the time to come upon that which was past and present. As he saith in Romans 5. Experience breeds hope, so it doth here in the Blessed Apostle, He hath delivered, and he doth deliver, and why should I not trust in so good a God for the time to come, I hope he will deliver me? And surely so may we do. A Christian may rely on God for 1the time to come.
- 1Doct. A Christian may rely on God for time to come.

Upon the Name of God, the Name of his nature, Jehovah, I am, which signifies a constant being, I was, I am, and am to come.1
