SERMON X.
PHILIPPIANS. 4. 11. For I have learned in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content.
NOW there are many Pleas and reasonings yet1 remain, for there's a great deal of do with a discontented murmuring heart. And I remember I find that the same Hebrew word that signifies [to lodge, to abide,] it signifies to murmur, they use one word for both, for murmuring is a distemper that doth lodge in men, where it gets in once it lodgeth abideth & continues, and therefore that we may unlodge it and get it out, we will labour to show what are the further reasonings of a discontented heart.
