"For our better encouragement in these sad times, and to help our trust in God the more, we should often call to mind the former ex-
periences, which either ourselves or others have had of God's good-
ness, and make use of the same for our spiritual good. 'Our fathers trusted in You,' says the Head of the church, 'and they were not con-
founded,' (Ps. 22:14). God's truth and goodness is unchangeable, 'He never leaves those who trust in Him,' (Ps. 9:10). So likewise in our own experiences, we should take notice of God's dealings with us in different ways; how many ways He has refreshed us, and how good we have found Him in our worst times. . . . If His nature and His word and His former dealing has been sure and square, why should our hearts be wavering?"
