You will not find one Godly man who came out of an affliction worse than when he went into it. Though for a little while he was shaken, yet, at last, he was better for an affliction. But, a great many Godly men have been worse for their prosperity.
Jeremiah BurroughsTemptations will no more prevail over a contented man, than a dart that is thrown against a brazen wall.
Jeremiah BurroughsI am discontented because I have not these things which God never yet promised me, and therefore I sin much against the Gospel, and against the grace of faith.
