9. Thirdly. "Let him that standeth, take heed lest he fall;" lest he tempt God by unbelief; by distrusting his faithfulness. Hath he said, "in every temptation he will make a way to escape" And shall he not do it Yea, verily;
And far above thy thought His counsel shall appear, When fully he the work hath wrought That caused they needless fear.
10.
