Gods people when they meet with troubles in the World, Oh! nothing so sweet unto them as the enjoyment of God: then no life so sweet unto them as the life of Faith; then they relish a sweetness in the promise: then every smile of God, oh how welcome is it? then all the affections of their souls centre in God, and run to God: as in Winter-time all the sap of the Tree runs to the root: in Summer-time it spreads it self in the body, but in the Winter goes to the root: when a man is sick, all the blood goes to the heart; so in a suffering condition, all the affections of the soul go to God.
