How it is with grace, what Faith, what Love, what Patience!
When the world is kind to us, fair with us, and flatters us, and hugs us, and embraces us, we begin to forget and to slight Communion with Jesus Christ.
But when the worlds weights are upon us, we have promises of more of the presence of God, and of the presence of his Spirit.
The purpose of the world when they hang their weights upon the Palm-Trees, is to keep them down, that their graces multiply not.
To discourage, to turn them quite aside, to renounce, to forsake and apostatize.
