Are you come to this Choice? Now, Rejoice O Saints, in your Portion; And again, I say, Rejoice. You may thus Rejoice, even when Losses o• many Good Things are befalling of you. [Heb 10.34.] As David when he had Lost all, yet Encouraged himself in the Lord his God: Thus may we, when we have Lost never so much, Encourage our selves, I have in my God yet a Good Portion left that never can be taken away. Christians, You are no other than Travellers and Sojourners in this World. All your Losses, are but a few Inconveniences befalling Travellers on the Road. You have an Heavenly Father, that will provide for you a Competency of those things which are not your Portion. But those things which are your Portion, Cannot be taken away; and in those things, all your Losses are abundantly compensated.
