2 Let us prepare and provide against the day of tribulation.1 Let us provide,
- 1Gods people are to prepare for afflictions.
1 A stock of graces. For sickness is a time to spend grace, 1but not to get grace▪ A Christian in sickness without grace, is like a Soldier in war without Armour like a house in stormy weather without a foundation, and like the men of the old world, when ready to be drowned▪ without an Ark. Woe be to that person that hath his graces to get whe•• he should use them! And therefore if we would be comforted in the day ⟨p. 35⟩of tribulation, we must provide aforehand a furniture of graces.
