USE II.
For Consolation to them that are planted by God in any place; that find rooting and establishing from God, this is a cause of much encouragement unto you, that what He hath planted, He will maintain. Every Plantation his right Hand hath not planted, shall be rooted up; but His Own Plantation shall prosper and flourish.
When he promiseth peace and safety, what Enemy shall be able to make the promise of God of no effect? ⟨p. 20⟩Neglect not Walls, and Bulwarks, and Fortifications for your own defence; but ever let the Name of the Lord be your strong Tower; and the word of His Promise the Rock of your Refuge. His Word that made Heaven and Earth will not fail, till heaven and Earth be no more, Amen
