1. A Child of God may lose all the comforts of spiritual life: yet not spiritual life it self. He may bring himself into such a sad condition by sin, that he may sin away all the comforts of this life. Thus David, Psal. 51.— Restore to me the joy of thy Salvation. He had not lost life, but the comforts of it; and desires they may be restored. A man may out-live the comforts of life: this is a sad thing to out-live comforts here, but Faith, at least, layeth the grounds of those comforts that are endless.
