It is more then to have all the preferments that thou canst possibly have in the world: And you that have showed your great and liberal love in the late Collection to some of Gods servants, I do from my soul bless God for it, and pray that you that have been willing to part with pebbles for Christ, may receive pearls from him; truly Sirs, y•a, that whatever you have done for his, may be ten thousand times made up by him, mercy in that day, and that you may have that will be something worth.

Shall I add another discovery of the love of the people of God to other Saints in their troubles and sufferings, and that is their great and deep supplication to God for them, never do they go to pray unto God, but Zion is in their thoughts: I am confident it is so with some, and am persuaded it is so with all, they never pray that God would give them their daily bread, but they pray likewise that his Kingdom may come: David was a man under great trouble, as in the reading of the 51. Psalm; I believe you will find he was under the greatest and forest troubles that ever was, under trouble of conscience, soul-trouble, which is the soul of trouble, and yet they could not make him forget Zion, as you may see at the 18. verse of that Psalm, Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: And though they sit in ceiled houses, yet so long as it is ill with the people of God, they must pray, and if they cannot overcome men with their prayers (which yet they must endeavour) yet they will endeavour to overcome God with their prayers, and Jerusalem is never out of their thoughts ⟨p. 261⟩
