There may be an inward distemper which may make our joys to be hollow and counterfeit. There may be sadness of heart, when there is outward joy, because there is an inward and Supereminent Sense, ⟨p. 19⟩which affects the heart another way, & therefore Eccl. 2. 2. It is called, made Joy, because we mind it not. It is the Joy of Joys, and life of comfort, that is from within, that proceeds from the inward man; As the soul is strong in health, so it finds-more comfort both in external and Supereminent comfort. Graces are to the soul, as health is to the body, the more and the greater they are, the more comfort they administer.
