1And by the Word they are many ways furthered. I take but only the 119. Psalm, to show how our continuance is helped by the Word. It redresseth our ways, verse 9. It keeps from sin, verse 11. It strengthens against shame, and contempt, vers. 22.23.143. It quickens, and comforts, verse 25.28.50.54.93.111. It makes free, verse 45. It makes wise, verse 98.100. It is a Lantern to our feet, verse 105.130. It keeps from declining, verse 102.104.118.155.160.165. Lastly, they are helped by the promises that concern perseverance, and preservation, and falling away: such as are contained in such Scriptures as these, John 13.1. 1 Cor. 10.13. Rom. 8.29. Psal. 84.12. 1. Tim. 4.18. Revel. 2.25.26.
