At last a day came when he did not see Gray Brother at the signal place, and he laughed and headed the buffaloes for the ravine by the dhk tree, which was all covered with golden-red flowers. There sat Gray Brother, every bristle on his back lifted.

2. There is an acquired hardness. Heb. 3. 13. least any of you be hardned through the deceitfullness of sin. Sin cheates us into custome and custome out of conscience. Sin is like some waters that have a naturall petrifying quality, and will harden any thing into stone that lays any time in them. Let a godly manly in any sin any time, neglect duty and give himself a loose to the world, and he shall see in how short a time a crust will grow over his heart, a scirrus upon his conscience; that will make him both unwilling to duty: and unweildy in duty: his faith will take winde and be apt to taint when he keeps not close to God in duty: Delicata res est spiritus sanstus; the spirit of God is a dainty tender thing and soone snibd; no marvell therefore if that heart be hard that has driven away the softning spirit.
4. A broken heart is nothing, in respect of his own Comforts and Contentments: he can take comfort in nothing, till he sees God reach out the mercy to him: he dares not be his own Carver to snatch at any thing, but waises with patience and satisfaction, till his Father give it him: so that he may say of all his enjoyments, as Jacob said of his Venison but more truely, the Lord thy God brought it to Gen. 27. 20. Gen. 2. 22. me: he owns no comfort in Wife or Children, health or wealth, or any of those things that we are apt to call goods, and think mercies, but as he sees they are from God: As Adam took Eve when God brought her to him: These are the Children which the Lord hath given thy Servant, Gen. 33. O this is the mercy of a mercy, the comfort of a comfort, the Crowne of a broken heart in his saddest condition; this is that which raises, refreshes, ravishes his soul when he can see God in a mercy: this is that Elixar of a broken heart, turns all to Gold, Psal. 37. 16. A little that a righteous man hath, is better than the riches of many wicked. Many wicked, as if he had said, all the riches of the wealthy wicked ones in the world, will not amount to such a Summe, nor rise to such an Income of comfort, nor swell to so vast a Revenue of contentment, as those little pittances that the Father is pleased to give with his own hands to his own Children. When God shall convey a blessing to a man through the Covenant of grace, when it flowes in to him through Prayers and Promises, these are the eldest Sonnes of mercy that are [Page 29] the heires of the Promises: Oh there is a hidden Manna in those mercies that are reached out by the hand of Promise, reached at by the hand of faith, given by the hand of Providence, and taken by the hand of Prayer. All my springs are in th [...]e, sayes David, Psal. 87. ult. All springs, there is their Universality: my springs, there's their Propriety; in thee, there is their Eternity. All my springs, my springs of Axa, my upper springs, and my lower springs, my springs of grace, my springs of Peace here: my springs of joy, my springs of glory above, [...] all those living fountains of that great depth of Eternity: All my springs are in thee. Carnal hearts have their muddy ponds, and stinking puddles, out of which they think they can fetch waters of comfort; but, alas, when they taste them, they prove but waters of Marah, bitter waters, they come from, and flow into the dead Sea, there are snares in them, there is death in the Pot: at best, they are but broken Cisterns (as God calsJer. 7. 11. them) that will hold no water; whereas, this brokenJer. 2. 13. Cistern of Gods making, a broken heart may freely fill himself with that, which alone can fill, the fountain of living waters. For God as he is the Father of mercies, so he is the God of all comforts, who only can give comforts as a God, that is, such1 Cor 1. 3. comforts as man cannot give, and such comforts as man cannot take away. All are miserable comforts and comforters, (as Job saies) that are dig'd out of theJob 16. 2. Creature: Consolatiunculae Creaturulae, as Luther delights to diminutive it. A broken heart would taste a great deal of sweetness in that one delicious promise [Page 30] that flows with milk and hony, wine and oyle, marrow and fatness, Esay 58. 11 And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfie thy soul in drought (it is in droughts in the Original, in the hottest hardest season) and make fat thy bones, and thou shalt be like a watred Garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters faile not, Hebr. whose waters lye not, or deceive not. O all these lower springs are such, not filling and yet failing, not lasting and yet lying, deceiving as well as decaying waters. All the life of the toyling worldling (in the midst of his pleasing dreams and gay hopes that flatter him with golden Indies as the return of his drudgery) is (if really and rationally, as well as religiously considered,) but like the sad trade of the poore Israelites in Aegypt, to go up and down to seek straw, to take a great deal of pains to make up their Bundle, and when they have it, it is but a bundle, and that bundle is but straw, and that straw but to make Brick, to put an edge upon their affliction, and with a great deal of wit and labour to adde new weights to that which is but too heavy without it. Methinks the businesse of the world is most meltingly emblemd in that passionate expression of the poor Widow to the Prophet. Behold 1 King. 17. 12. I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress a little Cake for me and my son, that we may eat it and dye: take a great deal of pains, to take a little pleasure, and dye: and many times when a man hath made up his bundle, and resolves to sit down and warm himself and say Aha, (as the ProphetEsa. 44 16. most rhetorically humors it) when a man thinks to enjoy the sweet of his labours, to make his gold [Page 31] fusive and malleable, run it and beat it out into the varied delights of his ownfancy, when he is going to set fire to his bundle, and pleases himself with the chearing project of pleasing himself and his friendsActs 28. 3. with its warmth. How often doth it prove like St. Pauls bundle of sticks? There comes a viper out of it, some sting, some venome, some vexation to poison and sowr his contentments. What do they do that burden their bodies, their brains, their souls too, to loade themselves with thick clay (as the ProphetHab. 2. 6. elegantly) but like men pressed to death, cry more weight still? We run here and there like the Prophets vagrant, and grudge if we be not satisfied, but we are not satisfied for all our grudging: WePsalm 59. 15. knock at the doore of every Creature, but one sayes 'tis not in me, and the other say it is not in me: there is nothing within to entertain us and bid us welcome:Job 28. 14. Riches, Relations, Learning, Liberty, have nothing in them, any further than we can see God in them: indeed, to see God in any thing though below staires is a beatifical vision, and makes even a Hell a Heaven: which makes me often think that speech of Luther not so wilde, as some would have it, Mallem esse in Inferno cum Christo, quàm in caelis sine Christo. I had rather be in Hell with Christ, than in Heaven without him: it is the King that makes the Court. This is Sugar to the most bitter Cup of Affliction. A man may make a meal of sowr herbs with contentment, when he sees God in it as a Passeover, when the lintels and doore-postsExod 12. 7. are sprinkled with the blood of the Lamb, when every bit he eat sis dipped in the blood of Jesus Christ. [Page 32] It is a rare Cordiall to a fainting spirit, when he can see God in his distresses, though but as the Sun in April through a showr of teares. Nay St Stephen had joy in his death when he saw God and Christ atActs 7. 55, 56. 58. his right hand, though through a showr of stones. There is more in that Text of David then is ordinarily discovered, Psal. 4. 7. Lord lift up the light of thy countenance upon me: Thou hast put gladness in my hear [...], more then in the time that their corn and wine encreased, that is, not only more then these poor empty creatures of corn and wine can give; or more then their corn and wine, that is, more then they can give them whose they are, (though certainly they are the most refreshing creatures, and they have the highest gust of their refreshments whose they are, that are their proprieters) not only more then corn and wine, and their corn and wine, but more then in the time of their corn and wine, that is, the Harvest and the Vintage, the merriest seasons of all the year. Thus David preferres his joy he had in God, as he did Jerusalem, Psal. 137. 6. Above my chief joy, [...] Above the head of my joy. This sight of God in any condition is the top and pinacle of all joy, for this supplyes what a man has not, and sweetens what he has. This was that which sweetnedGen. 28. 13. Jacobs dream, and softned his hard pillow, that besides the Angels he saw ascending and descending upon his ladder, the Lord God stood above. Thus have I gathered up the fragments of the first piece the heart is broken into, in shewing you all those low thoughts it has of it self. 2ff7e9595c
