I, here's a soul that lives up to his Principle; I, but now souls that are weak in grace (as 1we have had large experience of it in our times) they are more taken up, and busied about the events and issues of things, then they are with their own Duties: When they should be a praying, a believing, a waiting, and acting for God, they have been a questioning, and fearing what the issue and event of this, and that, and the other thing would be: And indeed they have been high and low, as secondary causes have wrought, which hath made many of their lives a very hell. But now those that are rich in grace, they say as once he did, Let us be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the Cities of our God, and the Lord do that which 2seemeth him good. Let us do our duties, and let the Lord do as pleaseth him, &c.
