1. See you be qualified for it. Comfort follows Holiness, as Heat doth Fire; the Spirit is first a Sanctifier, and then a Comforter: And according to God's Promise, is more necessarily a Sanctifier than a Comforter. Ephes. 1.13, 14. In whom ye also trusted after that ye heard the Word of Truth, the ⟨p. 445⟩G•••el of your Salvation. O• whom alone after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of Promise, which is the Earnest of our Inheritance, until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his Glory. Comfort is our Happiness, but we are made Holy before Happy: Hereafter we enter into our Master's Joy, we have a taste of it in the World; But who have this Taste, but the sanctified and self-denying Christians? The Work of Sanctification is carried on more certainly, but his Comforting Work is many times obscure and interrupte•. Do your Work throughly and faithfull•, •nd you may refer your selves to God for comfort.
