oh▪ withhold not thy mercies from us, oh help us to eat the Passover with bitter herbs, let us look on Christ and weep over him, let us look on a broken Christ with broken hearts, and on a bleeding Christ, with bleeding hearts: let us mourn for our dis-ingenuity, that we should grieve that God that […] • ways doing us good.

Though we have lost the duty of Children, thou hast not lost the goodness of a Father; let us be held forth as patterns of mercy, so shall we trumpet forth thy praise to all eternity: whatever afflictions thou layest upon our bodies, let not our sins be unpardoned; let not sin and affliction be together upon us, let there be peace in Heaven, and peace in the Court of Conscience; we have found this part of thy word true, In the world we shall have trouble; let us find the other part true, In Jesus Christ we shall have peace. Oh let peace and holiness go together; make […] new creatures, that we may be glorious creatures; without faith Christ will not profit us; when we can call nothing in the world ours, let us call Christ, ours. Lord, draw thine Image every day more lively upon us; a more lively hope, and a more inflamed love to Christ. Let us have a spirit of courage and resolution, keep us from the fallacies of our own hearts, keep us from the defilements of the times, make us pure in heart that we may see God, that we may have Gospel-spirits, humble spirits, meek spirits; As Christ did take our flesh, let us partake of his Spirit. Why dost thou embitter the breast of the creature to us, but that we should find the sweetness of the promises? There is as much in the promises as ever, let us live upon God, let us cast anchor in Heaven, and we shall never sink.
