Comfort and Contentation to the Saints, in the meanest and lowest Condition, though the World hate, and the Wicked pursue, Saran tempt, Ungodly undermine, they all conspire to cast reproaches upon your Persons, and disgrace upon your Religion, and shame upon your Faces: when they curse, God will bless. If they hate, and God love you, you need not fear, you should not care: In Love is no lack. If thou hast Gods Love, thou hast himself; art sure to speed when thou seekest; sure to obtain when thou askest. So Martha for Lazarus. He whom thou lovest, is sick: he whom thou lovest, is troubled, is tempted, persecuted, discouraged. What price dost thou put upon thy Health, if sick? upon Wealth, if poor? on Life, if at the point of dying? If thou hadst these for thy succour, all was well. Behold, Gods loving kindness, better than Life it self.
