God's anger

But another, that hath heard all this sad Story, and seen the comfortable end sent ¹of the Lord, is not satisfied, because ⟨p. 74⟩himself is not redressed. Like a coward in wars that looks for the victory, before he gives one stroke in the battle. What merchant looks to be landed in the place of traffic, before he hath past his adventure upon the seas? Still saith such a repiner; I am in distress, and want even necessaries. But still, thou, and we all, must suffer much more, before it can be said of us, Here is the faith and patience of the Saints. Still O my soul, wait thou upon the Lord, thy most faithful Creator: he will in his good pleasure, open his hand, and fill thee with plenteousness. Be thou penitent before him, patient under him, confident in him, and thou shalt have a bundant cause to be thankful to him: Thy end shall be peace, and comfort in Jesus Christ.
