1. THERE are Some Things, which are greatly Feared by many who certainly will never see the Things come upon them: And they should not be Afraid of such Things; Fear not, but Rejoice in the Hope of what a Gracious GOD will do for them. There are the Devout Ones, who say of some Things, This is the Thing that I have greatly seared. But, O let the Fear of GOD in you, assure you, That these things will never come upon you. I beseech you, let not the Rod of the wicked be found in the Lot of the Righteous, and let not the Brand of the Wicked be in any Degree found in you who are the Righteous, which no Evil shall happen to; That is to have it said of you, There they were in great Fear, where no Fear was.
