SERMON XI.
PHILIPPIANS. 4. 11. For I have learned in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content.
Now we are coming to the close of this point of §12Contentment that Jesus Christ doth teach those that are in his School: we have opened the point unto you, and showed you wherein the art, and skill, and mystery of Christian Contentment lies; and divers things in the way of application rebuking the want of this: and the last day I finished that point of showing the several reasonings of a murmuring and discontented heart. I shall now as being desirous to make an end, leave what was said, and proceed to what remains. There are only these two things for ⟨p. 187⟩the working of your hearts to this grace of Christian Contentment.
