1Therefore let us not repine that God will have us live.2 Indeed, as soon as a Christian hath faith, he hath life in patience, and death in desire, for he is impatient to want his crown: oh, but here is the time of service: and when he considers the eternity of the reward he shall have after; he will be glad to serve God, and he will be ashamed that he can ⟨p. 219⟩do it no more. When he knows he shall have an eternal weight of glory for a little service, then he will deny his lusts, and pleasures to serve God in the place he lives in, whether he be Magistrate, or Minister whatsoever; to undergo the burden of a little service.
