Surely there is more pride in such refusals, than Christians are easily convinced of; for is it not by interpretation to say, my loss is not to be repaired, my wound is incurable, there is no balm in Gilead that can heal thy hurt! Is it not, as if thou shouldst say, there was but one intolerable thing in the world, and God must needs send that upon thee! Dear Christian, be afraid by thy frowardness of running the hazard of such an interpretation: That Question of Eliphaz to Job, 1Are the consolations of God small with thee? implieth greater unkindness in refusing divine comfort, than Mourners are willing to believe. God could not do thee wrong in taking away thy amiable Relation from thee (it was but calling for his loan again, which he lent thee) and yet doth he send to comfort thee. Oh how thy head, and worship, and say, Behold the servant of the Lord, be it unto me according to thy Word.
