I am come to you this day not to set out unto you the excellency of wit or learning, or the creature: but the excellency of a naked promise, according to that. 2 Pet 1, 4. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and and pre•ious promises.
Now all the promises of God unto his people, are such as concern the body, or the body and the soul: those that concern the body are with this limitation, that is, so far as concerns Gods glory, and the ⟨p. 5⟩good of our souls: but for the body and soul, consider that place. For the Lord is a sun and Shield, the Lord will give grace and 1glory, and no good will he withhold from them that live uprightly.
