You that have received so great mercy, we that have seen it, and all 1who have heard the Doctrine confirmed, let us learn to live by Faith. Live above all things that are seen. Subject them to the cross of Christ. Measure your condition, by your interest in Gods All-sufficiency. Do not in distress calculate what such, and such things can effect, but what God hath promised. Reckon upon that, for it shall come to pass. If you could get but this one thing, by all your sufferings and Dangers, to trust the Lord, to the utmost extent of his promises, it would prove a blessed captivity. All carnal fears would then be conquered, all sinful compliances with wicked men removed, &c.2
