To Truſt in GOD is, acknowledging our weakneſs, and being apprehenſive of the innumerable Caſualities, Hazards and Snares to which  are expoſed in this Life and being ſenſible of  inſufficiency of all things to help and uphold us,  quiet our Minds in the expectation of Help from GOD who is of infinite Power and Goodneſs, and  Faithfulneſs never fails:

We are apt to be haſtie and impatient when Good we ſtand in need of, and Deſire is delayed:  we ſhould (truſting unto the Goodneſs, Power  Wiſdom, and Faithfulneſs of GOD, which never ),  reſign our ſelves to him, and hope ſtill in him, returning the Grant of what we need and deſire to  Good Will and Pleaſure, and to impart it to us,  and in what manner it ſeems beſt to him.

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 preſcribed to him, This Voice we then hear,  we advert to it, and retireing our minds from Thoughts of other things, we duely conſider what  LORD ſaith, and judging his Counſel and Common good, and Obedience to it abſolutely neceſſary for  we comply with it and obey it.
