2 The godly can discern the mystery of the times, 1 Chron. 12. 32. The children of Issachar were men that had understanding of the times: The godly can see when an age runs dregs, when Gods name is dishonoured, his messengers despised, his Gospel eclipsed; the people of God labour to keep their garments pure, Rev. 16. 15. their care is, that the times may not be the worse for them, nor they the worse for the times.

3 The godly understand the mystery of living by faith, Heb. 10. 38. The just shall live by faith: they can trust God, where they cannot trace him; they can fetch comfort out ⟨p. 286⟩of a promise, as Moses did water out of the rock: Hab. 3. 17. Though the Fig-tree doth not blossom, yet I will rejoice in the Lord.
