Let us not fear therefore, I say, if we have the Spirit of God stamped upon us, though in a little measure, if it be true, let us not fear death, Christ knows his own mark even in death, and out of death. And let us not fear afflictions nor evil times, Christ will know his seal, He hath a book of remembrance for those that are his, Mal. 3. for those that mourn for the sins of the times, and when he gathers his Jewels, those shall be his, he will gather his Jewels as a man in his house gathers his jewels, he suffers his luggage to burn in the fire: so God in common calamities, he suffers luggage, wicked men, to go to wrack; but he will free his own.

Let us labour therefore for this seal, to have our souls stamped with the Spirit of God, to have further and further evidence of our state in grace, that in the time of common calamity we may be free from danger, free from error, and destruction.
