yet they are alwayes the same by a regular and unchangeable brightnesse 25 A neighbour of mine had a little childe which with a fall put its arm out of joynt which the father by its unquietnesse perceiving was going to a Chyrurgion for remedy but while he was in consultation about it the Childe got another fall and thereby had his arme set right again so that it found ease and grew cheerfull upon it immediately Lord why are we out of heart when crosse occurrences befall us and think our selves undone when the great ones frown on us and are ala mort when our expectations are disappointed thou art he who by thy all-disposing providence canst make the very same things as the thrust of the Spear the impostumed person harm and heal us 26 A Rose-bush clipt in May and so disappointed of bearing fruit in June yet gave forth a plentifull crop of Roses in November Lord if the Spring and Summer of my life hath been like One●imus unprofitable and without that truit which might well be expected 't is of thy mercy that I was not eradicated when as the fruitless fig-tree was accursed though the time of figs was not yet come Oh therefore let my former barrenness be recompenced with such a fruitfullness as may out-goe the usual account of a November season 27 I passed by an Ants Nest set upon so steep a bank that their provision as fast as they brought it thither tumbled down again to the bottom which they as Sisiphus with his stone with continual labour setcht up again yet for divers years changed not the scituation of the Nest though a much more convenient place was hard by How many inconveniences do foolish and absurd customs beget us while like the Irish who tye the Plow to the Horse taile we pertinaciously stick to those practices which reason condemneth as inconvenient or erroneous when a more sober advice would easily present us with that which would be more usefull though lesse used 28 I saw a sheep in a very rainy day whose well-grown fleece as it kept him warm so it drank in the wet and thereby made the inconveniency of the rain much greater As the grace of God makes a man able with patience to bear his sufferings so it makes his sufferings more for beside his particular griefs he hath a fellow-feeling of all the concernments of Gods people too 29 I overtook a friend travelling to his house which though it were a Mile out of my way yet for his good company sake I went along with him Lord if thy providence effect thy glory though out of the way of my temporal advantage yet let me not be unwilling to comply with thy providence though with the losse of my present accommodations 30 A box wherein was some quantity of Civet being opened the scent thereof diffused it self to all the by-standers but was not alike resented by all not that the odour had not an equall diffusion but because their senses were not alike good or prepared to the reception of it If there shall be different enjoyments of the glory which shall be hereafter revealed 't is probable the odds will be not in the different manner of revelation but measure of apprehension Lord let therefore my heart be enlarged with the love of thee now that it may be filled with the more enjoyment of thee then 31 I saw an Orchard planted with choice of and the choicest of fruits but no good husbandry bestowed upon it afterwards but suffered to lye undigged and over-grown with Nettles and cropt by Cattel so that the Trees were hinderly and shrubbed having nothing neer attained that growth which otherwise they would I heard a Sermon the other day wherein I heard such smart and seasonable exhortations as possest my soul with many pious purposes which yet alas wanted that good husbandry which should have caused those thoughts to flourish into good works I am sensible I have lost a precious advantage I will therefore bestir me to recollect them out of the rubbish of impertinencies which lye in my heart and will take care of them that they be fenced with circumspection stak't with resolution digged about with religious exercise wed with caution and watered with prayer 32 An Hog was wallowing in his mire while the neat Cat sat licking her self and washing her face not willing to wet her foot though for fish so much desired I praised her cleanlinesse and would have done more but that I considered it was not out of election but disposition that she was so cleanly Lord some sins are escaped me not because I have chosen thy precepts but I have a natural disinclination to them if thou hadst never forbidden it I should never have been a drunkard that cloud in the brain and fretting heat in the stomack which but one draught between meals alwayes occasioneth is a sufficient bridle against that intempenance But Oh that all the considerations which Divine or Humane Light afford were sufficient to check those sins to which my constitution violently prompteth 33 Going by water the water-man was very curious of my sitting if I turned about he said It hindered his Boats going every motion was to him a fault and my tongue could hardly be removed from side to side but 't was complained of and this that our passage might be more speedy How nice a thing is peace of conscience how small a more offends it not acts of sin only but purposes to sin nor those only but abortive motions yea concupiscences not consented to the pure eyes of an infinitely holy God are something paralled by the quick sence of a tender conscience 34 The bloud in the Arteries is full of spirits and pulse which it looseth in the veins and therefore is returned again into the heart to receive there new heat and refection Every institution though in its first instruments it were lively and profitable yet in its after traductions it generally grows languid and corrupt and had need of a review Religion in the Primitive times was like bloud in the Arteries but now as in the Veins and sure it had need be often returned to the heart again rectified by the Word 35 I saw a Tree which grew by a too potent neighbour that over-grew it and dript it shrewdly but yet it thrust forth its boughs endeavouring to gain the open Heavens and the Suns uninterrupted aspect Lord thou knowest those inordinate desires which grow so neer my heart how much my soul is dript by them and how weak all my actings of grace are because of them if it be thy will let them be grub'd up by the roots if otherwise let my soul be averse and turn away from it endeavouring after a free acting to thee that I may partake of the dews of thy grace and the shining of thy favour 36 In a
