4. Know this also, that Scripture-Command supplies the want of Scripture-Promise. Go with me to Heb. 11.13, and ye shall find Abraham with his staff in his hand, and his sandals on his feet, and his loins girt: Please to let me ask him Two or three questions by the way; see what he will answer. Reverend Patriarch, Whither are you going? Answ. I know not. When shall you return? Answ. I know not. How will you subsist? Answ. I know not. He is in haste as well as we, and therefore I'll ask him but one question more. Abraham, Why then do you go at such UNCERTAINTIES? To this he will answer, I go not upon uncertainties; I have a call; I have a Command, and that will secure my person, and bear my charges. By faith Abraham, when he was CALLED to go into a place which be should after receive for an inheritance, OBEYED, and went out, NOT KNOWING WHITHER HE WENT.1
