Fourthly,study GOD in the word of Promise, the sum of all which you shall find in that word God spake to Joshua: Fear not, 1I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee: And be thou faithful to the death, 2and I will give thee the crown of life. There is your promise for this life, I will be with thee; and your promise for the life to come, I will give thee the Crown, &c. God with you here, and you with God hereafter: Christians, what would you have more? Fidelity shall wear the Crown. This may strengthen.
