First, Let us consider the vanity and inutility of such a solicitude, Matth. 6. 27. Which of you (saith our Lord) by taking thought can add one Cubit? We may break our peace, and waste our Spirits, but not alter the Case. We cannot turn God out of his way, Job 23. 13. He is in one mind. We may by struggling against God increase, but not avoid or lighten our troubles.
