Thirdly, 1Call often to mind the sad discourses and reasonings, the fears and tremblings, which you have had in your bosoms in the times of trouble and distress: Thus the Church, Lam. 3.17. I forgot prosperity: She had been so long in a suffering condition, that now she can scarce remember that ever she saw a good day in all her life: and at length she sits down, and giveth her self up to despair; And I SAID, my strength and my hope is perished from the Lord: She remembereth what unbelieving conclusions she made in her affliction; I SAID, &c. And so the Prophet Jeremiah, Vers. 54. Waters flowed over mine head; then I SAID, I am cut off: when he began to sink in the mire, he remembereth how ⟨p. 255⟩his heart began to sink with fear; he calleth to mind, what faithless language his heart spake; I SAID, I am cut off.
