This word salvation is a sweet word, yea the sweetest word in all the scripture, and yet many despise this worthy jewel, because they know not what it is worth, like the daws, which would rather have a barley corn, then a pearl or a jewel, because they know not the value thereof.

O Lord what is man that thou art so mindful of him! O man, what is God that thou art so unmindful of him! ¹If a friend had given us any thing, we would have thanked him heartily for it, but to him that hath given us all things, we will not give so much as thanks. Now therefore let the rock gush out water again, and let our stony hearts pour forth streams of tears in unfeigned repentance. We have all called upon you, but none regardeth us, as though God were as Baal, and as though Dives felt no pain, nor Lazarus joy, but all were forgotten. Many times Christ cometh into the Temple, and there is scarce a Simeon to embrace him, the babe is here, but where is Simeon?

O man, what is God that thou art so vnmindfull of him! ¹If a friend had giuen vs any thing, we would haue thanked him heartily for it, but to him that hath giuen vs all things, we will not giue so much as thanks. Now therefore let the rocke gush out water againe, and let our stony hearts powre forth streames of teares in vnfained repentance. We haue all called vpon you, but none regardeth vs, as though God were as Baal, and as though Diues felt no paine, nor Lazarus ioy, but all were forgotten. Many times Christ commeth into the Temple, and there is scarce a Simeon to embrace him, the babe is here, but where is Simeon?
