Let Faith be strengthened in an evil time. Poor distressed 1soul all the difficulty of thy deliverance lies in thine own bosom. If the streams of thy unbelief within, be not stronger then all Seas of opposition without, all will be easy. O learn to stand still with quietness, between an Host of Egyptians, and a raging Sea, to see the salvation of God. Be quiet in prison, between your friends Bullets, and your enemies Swords, God can, God will make a way. If it were not more hard with us to believe wonders, then it is to the promise to effect wonders for ⟨p. 40⟩us, they would be no wonders, so daily, so continually would they be wrought.
