VVhat vertue ariseth of this trust and inclination?
Hope, whereby we patiently attend for all things that we need at Gods hands: not only when we have the means, but also when we see no apparent means: as the Israelites did in the desert, and when the means seem contrary, as the three companions of Daniel, and Daniel himself, and Job, I will trust in God although he kill me.
