To Truſt in GOD.
To Truſt in GOD is, acknowledging our ⟨own⟩ weakneſs, and being apprehenſive of the innumerable Caſualities, Hazards and Snares to which ⟨we⟩ are expoſed in this Life and being ſenſible of ⟨the⟩ inſufficiency of all things to help and uphold us, ⟨and⟩ quiet our Minds in the expectation of Help from GOD who is of infinite Power and Goodneſs, and ⟨where⟩ Faithfulneſs never fails:
Wait on the LORD.
We are apt to be haſtie and impatient when (illegible text) Good we ſtand in need of, and Deſire is delayed: ⟨but⟩ we ſhould (truſting unto the Goodneſs, Power ⟨and⟩ Wiſdom, and Faithfulneſs of GOD, which never ⟨fails⟩), ⟨we⟩ reſign our ſelves to him, and hope ſtill in him, returning the Grant of what we need and deſire to (illegible text) Good Will and Pleaſure, and to impart it to us, ⟨what⟩ and in what manner it ſeems beſt to him.
To hear the Voice of GOD.
GOD ſpeaks to Man, and repreſents to him true Good, and the way to it, he calls on him and exhorts him; he commands him to take the ⟨Courſe⟩ preſcribed to him, This Voice we then hear, ⟨when⟩ we advert to it, and retireing our minds from Thoughts of other things, we duely conſider what ⟨our⟩ LORD ſaith, and judging his Counſel and Common good, and Obedience to it abſolutely neceſſary for ⟨it,⟩ we comply with it and obey it.
