long to little purpose, he says, _The vision is for an appointed time_, _at the end it will speak_. If a soul is groaning under guilt, he says, _I will he merciful to your unrighteousness_, _and your sins and iniquities I will remember no more_. If we feel our sins too strong for us, he promises he will subdue them. If we are made sensible of our backsliding, he says, _I will heal your backslidings_. If in great difficulties, and we know not which way to get out of them, he says, _I will bring the blind by a way they __know not_: _I will guide thee with mine eye_. If harrassed by the Devil, he promises to _bruise him under our feet shortly_. If complaining of hardness of heart, he says, _I will give you a new one_—and if full of fears, he declares he will be _an hiding place in every storm_; and if we feel as if we were forsaken of God; and are actually forsaken of friends, relatives, acquaintance, and both professor and possessor shun us; and suppose every ray of sensible comfort gone, yet, he cannot, will not leave or forsake you; for he hath said, _I will never_, _never_, _leave you_: _I will never_, _no_, _never_, _no never_, _forsake you_! for so the learned say it is in the original, not less than five times mentioned. How sweet the thought!—so that we may confidently sing— The soul that on Jesus bath lean’d for repose, He can not, he will not forsake to his foes; That soul though all Hell should endeavor to shake, He’ll never, no never, no never, forsake!
