Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reflections for Every Day in the Year, on the Works of God, and of His Providence Throughout All Nature, Vol. 1
Full of this conviction, I begin the new year. Let what will happen, I shall be more and more con firmed in the persuasion, that God will be my pre server in my old age, as he was in my youth. If I find myself exposed to poverty and distress, I will remember the days of my infancy, that still more critical state, in which he protected me. If I meet with ingratitude from a friend, even tbat ought not to make me unhappy. God can raise me up other friends, in whose tenderness I may enjoy delight and comfort. If my life is full of dangers and persecution, which seem beyond all human foresight, even this ought not to terrify me. I should put my trust in God, who protect ed my childhood, when it was exposed to a thou sand dangers. What then can prevent my begin ning this year with a tranquil mind? I look for ward without anxiety, and leave my fate to the guidance of Providence.
