1. If you set your love on worldly things, they will not satisfy: You may as well satisfy your body with air, as your soul with earth, Eccles. 5.10. Job. •0.22. In the fullness of his sufficiency, he shall be in straits. Plenty hath its penury. If the Globe of the world were yours, it would not fill. Adam had two sons, Cain and Abel: Cain signifies possession, Abel signifies vanity; to show us that in all our possessions there is vanity; ⟨p. 123⟩and will you set your love on that which will never give you content? is it not better to love God? he will give you that which shall satisfy, Psal. 17. ult. When I awake, I shall be satisfied with thy likeness. When I awake out of the sleep of death, and shall have some of the rays and beams of Gods glory put upon me, I shall then be satisfied with his likeness.
