Poor disconsolate soul, know thou that every crumb of comfort, which falls from Christs mouth, is more precious than a Ruby; and who art thou, that thou shouldst refuse Cordials from Heaven made of the blood of Christ? Jewels taken out of Gods own Cabinet. Away, away, Christian, with Rachels peevishness, and Jonah his passion, which serve for nothing, but to turn sorrow into sin. I do well to be angry doth ill become meekness of Christs Spouse, say rather, I will bear the indignation of the Lord, 1because I have sinned against him. What if God hath given thee a bitter potion, he comes now to comfort thee, he offers thee a sovereign Cordial, Oh spill it not upon the ground, as a vile thing, nor say in thy passion, Let God ⟨p. 158⟩keep his Cordials to himself, and so, as it were, take revenge on God for afflicting thee: Oh lay thine hand upon thy mouth, yea, put thy mouth in the dust, that it may not cause thy flesh to sin.
