Thirdly, that we may get victory over the ill affections that stir within us, we must consider that we are Pilgrims. 1. Pet. 2. 11: Many are very impatient, and cry out of their misery that it is such, as they never look to live merry day more: but what need they trouble them selves about that, it may be they shall not live an hour more: a Pilgrim is in his Inn at night and gone in the morning, and so may they: and why therefore should they make such a long and tedious matter of their crosses? If they have assurance of heaven, their momentany afflictions are nothing in comparison of that eternal crown of glory which shall be bestowed upon them. If men would cease looking and lusting after the temporal things which are seen, and fasten their hopes and desires upon the eternal things which are not seen; they would esteem and reckon their heaviest griefs to be very light, and their longest afflictions to be short and momentany. 2. Cor. 4 17. 18.
Thirdly, that we may get victorie ouer the ill affections that stirre within vs, wee must consider that wee are Pilgrimes. 1. Pet. 2. 11: Many are verie impatient, and crie out of their miserie that it is such, as they neuer looke to liue merry day more: but what neede they trouble them selues about that, it may be they shall not liue an houre more: a Pilgrim is in his Inne at night and gone in the morning, and so may they: and why therefore should they make such a long and tedious matter of their crosses? If they haue assurance of heauen, their momentanie afflictions are nothing in comparison of that eternall crown of glory which shall bee bestowed vpon them. If men would cease looking and lusting after the temporall things which are seene, and fasten their hopes and desires vpon the eternall things which are not seene; they would esteeme and reckon their heauiest griefes to bee verie light, and their longest afflictions to be short and momentanie. 2. Cor. 4 17. 18.
