The Christian's charter showing the privileges of a believerThe Christian's charter shewing the priviledges of a believer

1. In Prevention: God ever lies sentinel to keep off evil from us. 1. Temporal evil. There are many casualties and contingencies, to which we are incident; God shields them off, he keeps watch and ward for his people, Psal. 121.4. He that keeps Israel, shall neither slumber nor sleep. The eye of providence is ever awake, and God gives his Angels charge over us, Psal. 91.11. A believer hath a guard of Angels for his life-guard. There is an elegant expression to set this out, He bare you as upon Eagles wings^*, an emblem of Gods providential care to his adopted. The Eagle fears no bird from above to hurt her young, only the arrow from beneath; therefore she carries them upon her ⟨p. 57⟩wings, that the Arrow must first hit her, before it can come at her young ones: Thus God carries his children upon the wings of providence; and they are such, that there is no clipping these wings, not can any Arrow hurt them.
