As well when he takes, as when he gives; when he strikes, as when he strokes, as you may see by comparing the Scriptures in the Margin together. When the Lord had stripped Job of all, and had set him naked upon the dunghill, why then 1says Job, The Lord gives, and the Lord taketh away, and blessed be the name of the Lord. Where Grace is improved to a considerable height, it will work a soul to sit down satisfied with the naked enjoyment of God, without other things. John 14. 8. Show us the father, and it sufficeth us. The sight 2of the father without honours, the sight of the father without riches, the sight of the father without mens favour, will suffice the soul: As Jacob said, It is enough that Joseph is alive; so says the soul that's high in Grace, 'tis enough that Jesus is alive, &c.
