Let us try our selves therefore, if we have tasted Gods good will towards us, we will have a good pleasure to him again, whatsoever is Gods pleasure shall be our pleasure, what pleaseth him, shall please us. If it please him to exercise us with crosses, and afflictions, and losses, what pleaseth God shall please me, for when he hath once loved me freely in Christ, every thing that comes from him, tastes of that free love, if he correct me, it is out of free love and mercy, all the ways of God are mercy and truth, his ⟨p. 291⟩way of correction and sharp dealing, it is a way of love, and free mercy, therefore, if it please him, it shall please me, my will shall be his will.
