This Word was given in, Follow on with the Eternal Powers of Eternal
Might, now that ye are set in the true Race-way, though many Stones of
offence may stand to block you up. For which exert the Power of Faith to
remove all out, that would be a stop to the attaining what is yet
remaining, for the consummation of the Lord's own free engagement. Which
is to set the Seal of his Might to Authorize our present flight, from
Mortal Creatures, and all Terrestrial Things, that would drive us back,
as by a forcible Storm. But the true Shepherd hath it said, That he will
hold fast, and carry us, if weary, in his own Arms, till we come within
the Walls of strong Salvation: therefore faint not.
