See hence what use you may make of past mercies, deliverances, 1blessings, with promised incomings: Carry them about you, by Faith, that you may use them at need: Where is the God of Elijah: Awake, awake oh Arm of the Lord, &c. I saw the Tents of Cushan: Take store mercies along with you in every Trial. Use them, or they'll grow rusty, and not pass in heaven. Learn to eat Leviathan many years after his death. Forget not your pearls, scatter not away your treasure, be rich in a heap of Mercies, Faith will make you so. The Love, the comfort, the benefit of all former and future blessings are yours, if you know how to use them. Oh how have we lost our mercies in every hedge and ditch! Have none of us skill to lay up the last eminent deliverance against a rainy day?

2. Learn how to make the poorest and most afflicted Condition, comfortable and full of Joy. Store thy Cottage, thy sick bed, by faith, with all sorts of mercies. They are the richest furniture in the world. Gather up what is already cast out, and fetch the rest from heaven. Bring the first fruits of Glory into thy bosom. See the Jews called, the residue of Opposers subdued, the Gospel exalted, Christ enthroned, all thy sins pardoned, Corruption conquered, Glory enjoyed. Roll thy self in those Golden streams every day. Let Faith fetch in new and Old: Ancient mercies, for thy supportment, Everlasting mercies, for thy Consolation. He that hath Faith, hath all things.
