For the foundation of all comfort is the Name and being of God Jehovah: from his being issue and flow his properties, and they are like him unchangeable, and eternal: and from his properties comes that to be unchangeable that comes from him, his Word and promise and Covenant; considering then that his Name & being is such, that his properties are such, that his Covenant is such, issuing from his nature and properties, experience then of trust in the love and mercy of God, is an unanswerable argument against all temptations: he hath loved, he doth love, and he will love: he hath delivered, he doth deliver, and he will deliver, and will preserve 1us to his heavenly Kingdom.

- 11. Tim 4. 18.
It is a good argument, that God that is Jehovah, that God that is unchangeable, that God that is in Covenant with me, that is my God, and I his, that God of whom I have had experience for the time past, that he hath been my God, why should I doubt for the time to come? Unless I will call in question the very being of God, the very properties of God, and the truth of God in his Covenant, and overturn all, I may as well trust him for the time to come, as for the time present, He hath delivered me, he doth deliver me, and he will deliver me.
