1. By his promise, Luk. 12.22. Fear not little flock, it is your fathers pleasure to give you ⟨p. 316⟩a kingdom. So Joh. 3.16. Now all the promises of God are yea and amen, 2 Cor. 1.20. They as good as performances. Not one good thing faileth of all the good things which the Lord promiseth, Josh. 23.14. But mark (friend) one place for many, Tit. 1.2. In hope of eternal life which God that cannot lye hath promised; •ods people are a people that will not lye, Isa. 63.8. but God is a God that cannot lye; it is impossible for God to lye. Every lye proceedeth either from weakness, or from wickedness. Some are weak; they would be as good as their words, but cannot; others are wicked; they can be as good as their words but will not. Neither of these can be charged on the blessed God; he is able to perform his promise, for he is the almighty God, Gen. 17.1. I know that thou canst do all things, saith Job, Job 42.2. Omnipotency never met with a difficulty too hard for it: the promises of •od will eat their way through all the Alps of opposition, because he is a •od of infinite power; and as he is able, & free from weakness, so he is righteous & holy, & so free from wickedness; There is no unrighteousness in him, Psa. 92. ult. He is light & in him is no darkness at all, 1 Jo. 1.5. There is not the least spot in this Sun; His truth reacheth unto the heavens, and his faithfulness is above the clouds.
