Sacramental meditations upon divers select places of scripture

Secondly: Learn hence a ground of Content in the lowest and poorest condition allotted to any Believer in this world. It may be some of you live low in the world, you have hard fare, and are abridged of many of those sweet comforts in the Creature, which the Enemies of God abound in; but still remember, you have no cause to envy their dainties, and be dissatisfied with your own lot and portion, when not many Nobles or mighty in the world feed as your souls do feed. O what a feast have you! What dainties do your souls taste by faith! Whilst others do but feed upon Ashes and Husks, what is the flesh of Lambs and Calves out of the ¹Stall, to the Flesh of Christ? What is ⟨p. 128⟩Wine in bowls, and the chief Ointment to the Blood of Christ, and the anointings of his Spirit? O be satisfied with your outward lot, however God hath cast it, whilst he hath dealt so bountifully with your souls.
