Wormwood and Gall, and other bitter Things, are physical, very good in divers Distempers: So Afflictions are good spiritual Physic; the diseased Soul receives much Profit by them many ways. 1. They purge out the corrupt and noxious Humours of the Soul. 2. They tend to abate and pull down the Tympany of Pride. 3. They are good against spiritual Deadness. 4. They are good against spiritual Barrenness; nothing (when sanctified) makes a Soul more fruitful. 5. They kill Worms, (as Wormwood naturally doth) principally the Worm of an accusing Conscience, that breeds out of the Corruption of the Heart and Life, &c.

II. Wormwood, Gall, or Aloes, are not commonly given alone, but are mixed with other Ingredients, otherwise 'tis hard to take them down: So God mixeth Mercy with Affliction; in the midst of Judgment, he remembers Mercy towards his own People. Babylon shall have nothing but Gall and Wormwood, it shall be without any Composition of Mercy or Pity; hence said to be a Cup without mixture, &c.
