In a suffering time, then we are apt to be very froward, and to be impatient, and to dwell more upon our own pleasures then upon Gods dishonour.
Secondly, in suffering times, then we are very apt to forget our former experiences, and to be unthankful for our present mercies.
Thirdly, in suffering times we are very apt to boggle at the dispensation, to fall foul upon instrumen•• •• to complain of Gods dealings with us, and not of our own unworthy dealings with God.
Fourthly, in suffering times we are very apt to look to the smart of our sufferings, and not to the cause; or else to pitch upon the wrong cause.
