O then walk in every way, tread in every path of God, as you would have your souls filled with marrow and fatness,1 and never forget that choice saying of the Prophet Isaiah, Thou meetest him 2that rejoiceth, and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways. 3They that would have God to meet with them in a way of Peace and Reconciliation, in a way of Grace and Favour, must remember God in all his ways; not only in this or that particular way, but in every way wherein he is pleased to cause his glory to shine: Therefore doubting souls, Cease complaining, and be more conscientious and ingenuous, in waiting upon ⟨p. 201⟩God in all his appointments, and it will not be long night with you.
