And what a comfort is it to go to the experiments of scripture? it is an excellent way. As now, let a man be deserted of God: David, will comfort 1him by his experience Psal. 77. Where he saith, he found God as his enemy, and as Job saith, the terrors of God drank up his spirit, be of good comfort, David would come and comfort thee if he were alive. If the terror of God be against thee for sin, that thy conscience is awakened: be of good comfort, Christ if he were on earth would show thee by his own example, that he endured that desertion on the Cross. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? If thou be molested, and vexed with Satan, Job will comfort thee by his example, his book is most of it combating and comfort, and so for all other grievances, go to the scriptures, whatsoever is written, is written for our learning.
