Lastly,1 Is the joy of Gods children many ⟨p. 46⟩times obscured? or doth it not oft so evidently appear outwardly to the eye? It is no marvel. As we said even now, It is here oft Winter time with them. It is so in some sort generally so long as they live here. It is Summer here with the wicked, it is Winter with them.f The one is as the grass that is green in Winter, but withereth when the heat of Summer once cometh. The other is as the Oak, that in Winter seemeth sear, but when Summer cometh sprouteth out, and continueth fresh and green then, when the grass is parched and burnt up, or made hay of.g You are now dead, saith the Apostle; and your life is hid with Christ; but when Christ, who is your life, shall appear, then shall you also appear in glory with him. As if he had said, It is now Winter time, and the sap lieth hid in the root with you, but when Summer cometh, you shall spring out, and be in your prime as trees and plants are hwhen the Sun approacheth.
