I. Look not on the sinful part of your troubles, either as better or worse than indeed it is.
1. Too many persons in their sufferings and sorrows, think they are only to be pitied, and take little notice of the sin that caused them, or that they still continue to commit, and too many unskilful friends and Ministers do only comfort them, when a round chiding and discovery of their sin should be the better part of the Cure, and if they were more sensible how much sin their is, in their overvaluing the world and not trusting God, and in there hard thoughts of him, and their poor unholy thoughts of his goodness, and in their undervaluing the heavenly Glory, which should satisfy them in the most afflicted State, and in their daily Impatiences, cares, and discontents, and in denying the mercies or grace received, this would do more to cure some, than words of comfort, when they say as Jonah, I do well to be angry, and think that all their denials of Grace and distracting sorrows, and wrangling against Gods love and mercy are their duties, its time to make them know how great sinners they are.
