And now I stand in need of the performance of that promise which before I have had experience of.
And desire God by his Spirit to sanctify our memories, that we may remember fit deliverances, & fit favours, that when the time shall come we 1may have arguments from experience. What is the reason that we sink in temptation? That we are to seek when troubles come? It is from baseness of Heart, that though God have manifested his Care and Love to us by thousands of experiments, yet we are ready upon every ⟨p. 184⟩new trouble to call all into question, as if he had never been a good God to us: this is base in fidelity of heart, and our neglecting to treasure up blessed experiments of Gods former favour.
