6. The vanity of all worldly pomp, and glory, and the folly of all carnal confidence; men are now ready to call the proud happy, and bless the works of iniquity, and run to King Jareb; but then we shall know that God is able to deliver his people out of all straits.
7. That it is not in vain for the people of God to seek him, even then, when all humane helps and hopes fail, then they shall know that there is a power and efficacy in prayer, as 'tis Gods Ordinance, to help them in difficulties.
8. The meaning of many prophesies which are now very dark and obscure, and yet much sweetness in them for the Churches of God; and if this will be worth the knowing, let men that know any thing be Judges.
9. The glorious purposes and decrees of God that he had from all eternity for our good, God hath glorious purposes, although we for the present know them not, but we shall know them, there is such a time that all these things and much more than these shall be revealed to them.
