Why hath S. Paul such a trust of them as of himself?
Among many reasons this is one: He knew that where God had begun 1a good work, he would finish it: he saw that he had begun a good work in them, and therefore he knew that he would go on with it.

Desperation doth quell all courage, and cool all endeavour: Now God, because he would have us constant in our carriage, and in the expressions of our love to other men, he stirs up in us a trust that all shall be well with them.
