A40949	The saints duty, and safety, in a trying time, and when they are attended with a suffering condition: or, The saints duty in meeting together in the way of God, as worshippers of him and their safety and happinesse in continuing and abiding with the Lord in that wherein the Lord hath appeared, & doth continue and abide with them, to minister unto them both in a time of suffering, and in a time of rejoycing. And also, the danger of being negligent in meeting together, to per- [sic] perform their duty and service to God, through any wile, and crafty mysterious working of Satan, whereby he labours to seduce and deceive them, &c.
