Therefore when trouble comes, take heed of fetching your comfort from any creature. Alas, they are all puddle water, tis the word of grace which is the pure River of water of life, clear as ⟨p. 69⟩Chrystal, the River whose streams make glad the City of God.
Thus I commend you to the word of his grace, in this four fold respect.
To conclude all, it is Reported of a friend of Cyrus, that being asked, where his treasure was, he answered, [Greek or Hebrew], Where Cyrus is my friend; I hope if any, ask you, where your Treasure, your Riches, your Honour, your Happiness is, ye will say [Greek or Hebrew], Where God is our friend. Now to this God according to my power, I have, I do, and I shall commend you, to his favour and singular affection, to his power and special protection, and to his care and universal benediction.
