There is a partial deliverance, and a total deliverance, there is a deliverance from this, and that trouble, and there is a deliverance from all troubles. 1God delivers us most when we think he delivers least: for we think how doth he deliver his Children when we see them taken away by death, and ofttimes are massacred?

- 1Deliverance partial to all.
That is one way of delivering them, God by death takes them from all 1miseries, they are out of the reach of their enemies; death delivers them from all miseries of this life, both inward of sin, and outward of trouble, all are determined in death: therefore God when he doth not deliver them from death, he delivers them by death, and takes them to his heavenly Kingdom.
- 1Deliverance by death.
God oft-times delivers his, by not delivering them out of trouble: for when he sees us in danger of some sin, he delivers us into trouble to deliver us from some corruption. Of all evils Gods Children desire to avoid the delivering up to themselves, and to their own lusts, to their own base earthly hearts, to a dead heart: he delivers them into trouble therefore to deliver them from themselves.
