1. Here is no danger of exceeding; the greatest excesses here are most praise-worthy. In other things we must exercise it with jealousy, feed with fear, rejoice as if we rejoiced not; a man may easily go beyond his bounds when he rejoiceth in the creature; but here enlarge thy heart as much as is possible, and take thy fill of pleasure.
