And since this is Gods course with the body, and with the Members, and with our head Christ himself, shall we think to have immunity, and to escape, and not look to Gods order?

The Church is in great misery, and we are negligent in prayer, we think there are many good people, and there is strong munition, &c. As if when Gods people are in security, and forget him and his blessings, it were not his course to strip them of all, to suffer them to fall into extreme dangers: have we not the Church before our eyes to teach us? Let us trust therefore in nothing in this world.
