The skill and holy subtlety of faith can wind it self in Gods bosom, and from what it finds lying secretly there for us, encourages us to bear what is openly laid upon us.

Lastly, Observe, A believer looks upon all his receipts, as coming out of the heart of God.

As he can look into his own heart, and see all the Commandments and revealed counsels of God hidden there, so he can look into the heart of God, and see all the comforts he wanteth hidden there. Men of the world, take their comforts only from the hand of God, Saints take theirs from the heart of God. It putteth the price upon every blessing, when we can look upon special love, as the spring of it. Look how much of the heart of our friend we can see in a courtesy, so much true value there is in it. Hence it is usual with man, when he would express his freeness to those who desire a favour at his hands, to say, Yes, Take it with heart and good will, you have it with all my heart: We read of one, who complained he had received but a golden cup, when he saw another receive a kiss from a noble Prince. A kiss is a better gift then a cup of gold. Love is the richest present. How happy then are they, who have the golden cup, and a kiss too? much from the hand, and all from the heart, from the love of God.
