nothing makes either a communion, or an action more frequent, or more fervent then delight; didst ⟨p. 363⟩thou ever find thy heart more apt to pray, or more fixed in prayer, then when thou foundest most delight and comfort, in, or upon praying? so for other duties. 5. Spiritual joy will exceedingly 1facilitate the way and work for heaven: It is our facundus Comes, which is pro Vehiculo. As the fear of the Lord is our treasure, Isa. 33. 6. So the joy of the Lord is our strength, Neh. 8. 10. An heavy, dull, sad spirit, is a burden of• it self, and is very apt to make every thing else a burden: Now spiritual joy, it takes off dullness and deadness, and enables us to run the way of Gods Commandments, and to run the race that is set before us. Amanti nihil difficile, it makes our spiritual work to come off; the Wheels run if oiled.
