2. Learn how to make the poorest and most afflicted Condition, comfortable and full of Joy. Store thy Cottage, thy sick bed, by faith, with all sorts of mercies. They are the richest furniture in the world. Gather up what is already cast out, and fetch the rest from heaven. Bring the first fruits of Glory into thy bosom. See the Jews called, the residue of Opposers subdued, the Gospel exalted, Christ enthroned, all thy sins pardoned, Corruption conquered, Glory enjoyed. Roll thy self in those Golden streams every day. Let Faith fetch in new and Old: Ancient mercies, for thy supportment, Everlasting mercies, for thy Consolation. He that hath Faith, hath all things.
