If we have been faithful in our work, we may have this testimony, §1that what i• our place to do as creatures, is performed by us, Gods part is only remaining to be done; and know, though there were much weaknesses in our performances, yet we have to deal with a God who loves sincerity in infirmities.
If we suffer, God suffers more, this should mightily encourage §2us in sufferings when God is contented to be our partner.
Know, that God sees further than we, and knows what is §3best for us, when the wars first began we promised our selves a present end of them, and we thought it would be best; but God saw it was not, had we had peace at the first we should not have known what to have done with it, it would even have undone us by that time.
