The time of our trouble (saith Christ) is but aa Modicum. God's Anger lasts but a bmoment (saith David.) A little cseason, (saith the Lord) and therefore calls all the time of our pain, but thed hour of sorrow. David, for the swiftness thereof, compares our present trouble to ae Book; and* A••anasius to a Shower. Compare the longest misery that Man endures in this […], to the eternity of heavenly joys, and they will appear to be nothing. And as the sight of a Son safe born, 7makes the M• there forget all her former deadly pain: so the sight of Christ in Heaven, who was born for thee, will make all these pangs of death to be quite forgotten, as if they had never been:8 like Stephen, who as soon as he saw Christ, forgot his own wounds, with the horror of the grave, and terror of the stones; and sweetly yielded his soul into the hands of his Saviour. Forget thine own pain, think of Christ's wounds, *Be faithful unto the death, and he will give thee the Crown of eternal life.
