God's anger

We have made our selves sick by sinning: God is the Physician, and he prescribes: Affliction is the Apothecary, and he prepares: the Medicine is Repentance, and that infallibly cures.

A contrite heart, broken in pieces with sorrow, and pickled up in brinish tears, is a sacrifice that God will not reject.

Pardon follows like May, springing, singing, full of joys, and flowers. If our hands have been full of
