For the darkness of affliction, true it is that the brightest day hath the […] most quiet mind her disturbance. Our best estate hath ague-fits; but he that […] ter luminum beholds us, Psal. 31.7. Thou hast known my soul in adversity. This […] forts us in misery,1 as the suffering child that knows his father seeth: Make thy […] ⟨p. 353⟩to shine upon thy servant, and save me for thy mercies sake. We cannot be so broken, but the light of his countenance will make us whole. Peter was in hard bondage by Herod, Act. 12.6. Sleeping between two soldiers, and bound with two chains: yet even then a light shined in the prison. Say that thou liest between usury and oppression, as Peter between two soldiers; bound with two chains of debt and penury: yet if the comfort of this Light shine in thy heart, thy prison shall be an heaven, thy keepers Angels, thy chains thy glory, and thy deliverance salvation.
