He will have us to care only to keep his commandments, and to commit all chances unto him: He hath promised to care for us, & to keep us from all ill. All things are in his hand, he can remedy all things, and will for his truth sake, if we pray him. In his promises only will he have us trust, and there rest, and to seek no farther.

And when he desireth to show mercy, he rehearseth with all, the benefits of God done to them at their need, that they might see a cause, at the least way in GOD to show mercy of very love unto their neighbours at their need.
