The child's portion

1. That our happiness shall countervail and more than make us amends, for all the sorrows and sufferings of this life. Christ was a Man of sorrows with an Emphasis, he was put to the greatest grief, and yet he hath a full compensation for all; his Exaltation holds a full proportion to his Humiliation, Phil. 2.7, with 8, 9. He was deeply humbled, so was he highly exalted: Such was it that the very thoughts of it before hand carried him resolutely through all that he was to meet withal, Heb. 12.2. For the joy that was set before him, he endured the Cross and despised the shame. And if he hath enough to answer his, how then must the People of God needs have that which will dry up their tears, and wash off ⟨p. 120⟩thei• griefs and troubles? Hence with this David comforts himself in midst of such thoughts as he had been labouring under, Psal. 17. ult. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
