1. There are better times yet to come. It is night at present, and the terrors of it are apt to affright us; but the Day will break, and let us refresh our selves with that consideration, Psal. 30. 5. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. God hath said in Psal. 125. 3. The rod of the wicked shall not […] upon the lot of the righteous. And the Psalm resolves; Psal. 102. 13. Thou shalt arise, […] have mercy upon Zion; and 94. 14. The L•• will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. The whole Creation groans for this day, and we ought to live upon the hope it, Rom. 8. 19, 23, Nor need we to fear whether it shall be accomplished, for God hath engaged in it; and we are told, Isa. 9. 7. The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will perform this.
