Heart-wort, or Affiance in Gods promises.
IT may be, sorrow of heart for sins hath cast a man down; and he is swallowed up of too much heaviness. There is an herb to comfort him, called, Heart-wort; affiance in the merciful promises of God: past to him by Word, Oath, Seal, Scriptures, Sacraments,: and therefore infallible. At what time soever what sinner soever repents of what sin soever, God will put all his wickedness out of his remembrance. He will not let that promise fall to the ground, but meets it with peace and joy. Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. 1He believes that his wet seed time shall have a glad harvest:2 for they that sow in tears, shall reap in joy. He persuades himself, that the days of mourning will pass over, as the wind blows over the rain; and then God will wipe away all tears from his eyes, 3with the hand of mercy. This confidence, in the midst of all sorrows, is his Heart-wort.
