Prayer
to
God ,
to
get help
from him to
fup-
port
you

deliver
you from
the temptations

'tis

The
fourth Rule
for trial of your
Eftates
is
this,
That
when
youfndthe
Word
on
your
fide
in
any
thing,
never let go
your
hold
of
the Word ,
when
you
are perfwaded the
Word
(peaks well
of
your fide
in
fuch
or
fuch
a
thing
, never
do
any
thing
againít
it
;
as
we muff
not
receive any comfort
but
by the
Word,
fo
we
muft not rejedt any comforts
but
by
the
Word
;
force
may
fay,
I
find
fomething
in
the
Word
that
makes
for me,
but
I
am
afraid
I
am
not
thus and
thus
qualified
;
but
do you
find
any
thing
in
the
Word
that
gives
you ground
to
think
fo
?
we
must
reft
upon the
Word
both
ways,
as
we muft not receive any
thing to
build
our com-
forts on,
but it
muff be
from the
Word
;
fo
we
muft
not
re-
ceive any
thing to trouble
us
but
it
mull
be
from
the.
Word
;
it
mull
be
the
Word
muft wound
men
;
for
the
Confciences
of
men and
women are under the power
of
no
creature, but
the
Word
:
Now
as
there
is
no power
in
any
creature in
the
world to
raife
a
dejeted
foul,
and
to
comfort
a
troubled
Confcience
truly
but
the
Word
; So
the
people
of God
are
to
know, that they
are
fo
above
the
power
of
all
other
things,
that
nothing
in
the
World
fhould trouble them but
the
Word
only
:
as
they
fhould account
it
a
weak
vain
thing
to
reft
in
the opinion
of
others
for
the comfort of
their
fouls
,
that are
in
a
good condition
by
what
they
find out
of
the
Word
;
fo
they
fhould
accgunt,
it
a
vain
thing
to
reft
on
their
own
conceits in
time
of trouble,
or
in the
Paying
of

befides
what they
have

of
the
Word
;
the foul

afraid
my
{late
is
not good
;
Put
O
my
foul
,
is
there any
thing
in
the
Word
that fays
thus
;
that
they
that
are
thus
and
thus
are
hot
pardoned:
As
I
mutt
not
conclude
I am
pardoned,
but
mull
bring
.fomething out
of
the
Word
that
