10 By faith we have the right use of Gods blessings, and by unbelief we are deprived of the benefit of them, yea they are often turned to our hurt, if we observe not the rules that God hath given. Desire we then to have the pure use of Gods blessings? let us by aith receive them, set our hearts upon God that gave them, not seeking our own praise, applying them to the benefit of our brethren. If we have this testimony when we want them, we shall have joy, because we used them well whiles we had them. But if we be in want, and then remember we had them before, and our consciences tell us, that we have abused them, this will deprive us of all comfort, and increase our sorrow.
