Jeremiah 29:24-32

I cannot help admiring the gracious providence of God over the Church, in that the events which took place in one age, so exactly corresponds to what takes place in another: as if to prove to God's faithful ones, that in all ages they must and shall suffer persecution. Reader! do not fail to remark, how the faithful writings of Jeremiah is opposed by the lying writings of Shemaiah and his fellows. And doth not every generation bring forth the same? But oh! behold how the Lord himself interposeth! And thus depend upon it, in all ages the Lord is still looking on and will uphold his servants, and silence all their opposers. Oh! it is blessed to be on the Lord's side, and to be found in his truth.
