Again, when we hear any promise in the Word of God, turn it into a 1prayer, put Gods bond in suit (as it were) his promises are his bonds, sue him on his bond, he loves to be sued on his bond: and he loves that we should wrestle with him by his promises; Why, Lord, thou hast made this and this promise, thou canst not deny thy self, thou canst not deny thine own truth; thou canst not cease to be God: thou canst as well cease to be God, as deny thy promise, that is thy self. So let us put the promises into suit, as David, Psal. 119. (if it be his) Lord, remember thy promise, wherein thou hast caused thy servant to trust: as if God had forgotten his promise, Lord, remember thy promise, I put thee in mind of thy promise, wherein th• hast caused thy servant to trust. If I be deceived thou hast deceived me, thou hast made these promises, and caused me to trust in thee, and thou never failest those that trust in thee.
