Quest. 1 And First. If you ask, How far the Discouragements of the Saints may reach? For (will some say.) I know it is possible that the most gracious, holy man, may be much discouraged, but not with such discouragements as mine are.

Answ. 1 I Answer. What are yours? Are you so far disquieted, discouraged, cast down, as to refuse the word, promise, or consolation that is brought unto you? So far may the discouragements of the Saints extend: Psal. 77. vers. 3. I remembered God, and was troubled. He doth not say, I remembered my sin, and was troubled, but God; Yea I was not only troubled, but I did complain, and my spirit was overwhelmed within me. But when the promise came, and mercy came, and comfort came, did he refuse that too? yes vers. 2. my soul refuseth to be comforted.

He doth not say, I remembred my sin, and was troubled, but God; Yea I was not onely troubled, but I did complain, and my spirit was overwhelmed within me.
