And for particular promises, he hath made a promise to be a Husband to 1the Widow, and a Father to the Fatherless. He will regard the cause of the Widow, and he is a God that comforteth he Abject. He hath made promises to those that are afflicted, to all estates, and conditions of men; trust in God for these.2

- 12. Particular.
- 2Outward things promised with condition.
But how? he hath made these with conditions in regard of outward things: Let us trust him so far forth as he hath promised, that is, he will either protect us from dangers or give us patience in dangers: he will ⟨p. 161⟩give us all outward things, or else contentment which is better: take him in that latitude: trust in him as he will be trusted to: for outward things' he will either give the things, or give the grace which is better; he will either remove the grievance, or he will plant the grace which is better. If he remove not the evil he will give patience to bear it, and what do I lose if he give me not the good thing; if he give me contentment? I have grace to supply it which makes me a better man.
