Faith & Trust
I see thy goodness delights to have thy favours sued for, expecting we should crave what thou intendest we should have.
LORD, how near was I to danger, yet escaped!
LORD, many temporal matters, which I have desired, thou hast denied me; it vexed me for the present that I wanted my will; since, considering in cold blood, I plainly perceive, had that which I desired been done, I had been undone!
The mark must not choose what arrow shall be shot against it. What God sends I must receive.
God’s mercy, whose providence, foreseeing that men of lead would make instruments of cruelty, did give that metal a medicinal virtue.
