Now I have divers other things yet to open in the Mystery of Contentment. I should show likewise that a godly man not only makes up all in God, but finds enough in himself to make up all, to make up all in himself, not from himself, but in himself, and that may seem to be stranger then the other, to make up all in God is somewhat, nay to make up all in himself, not from himself but in himself, that is, a gracious heart hath so much of God within himself, that he hath enough there to make up all his wants that are without. In Pro. 14. 14. A good man shall be satisfied from himself, from that that is within himself, that is the meaning, a gracious man he hath a bird within his own bosom that makes him melody enough, though he wants music, The Kingdom of heaven is within you, In Luke, 17. 21. He hath a Kingdom within him, and a Kingdom of God, you see him spoken ill of abroad, he hath a conscience within him that makes up the want of a name and credit, that is instead of a thousand witnesses.
