Christians, here is now Meat for your Faith. What do all these Holy Promises nothing move you? Or carry little savour or relish with them? What shall the Almighty God give it to thee under his own Hand, that thou art a Free-Man, and thou make little Account of it? Shall he give thee thy Protection, and thou lay it by as as useless Paper that signifies little? Oh Sirs, when your Hearts are ready to faint because of the Sons of A• that be in the Way; when you see the Black Guard gaping upon you, and the King of Terrors levelling at you, and a wicked World armed with Rage against you, and full of Malice, and the Thieves and Conspirators in the Bosom, watching their Opportunity to betray all to them, yet let not this discourage you. These were enough indeed to make a considering Man's Heart to melt and die within him, but that the Covenant of Grace yields such ample Relief against all. Oh be ever mindful of t•e Covenant: Remember what hath past this Day between the living God and your Souls: Watch, O Christian, and stand fast, quit thee like a Man. The Conquest is sure: Who would not fight with Courage, hat hath Assurance of the Victory?
