Fourteenthly, When men seek to have their desires satisfied merely because they love change. We cannot have any comfort ⟨p. 552⟩that God doth it out of love, when it is out of a foolish spirit that loves novelty. They, though they had bin long enough under that kind of Government, and in a mere kind of novelty, not knowing what might come of such a change, but a change they would have. And so people though there be never so much good in a way, yet out of a novelty they would fain have a change: And if God grant them a change when they have no other ground but that for it, it is a sign that there is wrath in it, and not love.
