That which is wine to make glad the heart of Paul, will also exhilarate the hearts of others, who believe in Christ. That which is honey to one cannot be gall to another.
This truth hath its great practical use. And
First, Let us consider, That there are general grounds of comfort for all the 1godly in all their tribulations, and there are special particular ones. The general grounds of comfort are such, that all the godly may make use of at all times, be they Jew or Gentile, bond or free, eye or foot in the body of Christ, there is no difference, no exemption, this fountain is set open. Neither is it like the pool of Bethesda, wherein the first only that stepped in could be healed, for here all are invited to drink, first and last, and that abundantly. There are Catholicon comforts, that let our diseases be what they will be, these are proper to cure us. There are some promises so full of general comfort for every condition, that they are made for the meridian of every godly man.
