 Buſh, take comfort. Why? thy blaſts will all ſoon be over, and joy will come in the morning. All that thou meeteſt with, O burning Buſh will effectually contribute to thy advantage, Yea, all the fiery flames of whatever kind, that are in the midſt of thee, ſhall promote thy good. All the winds that blow in thy teeth ſhall ſerve to blow thee the faſter and quicker to heaven. All things whether proſperity or adverſity, whether joy or grief, &c. ſhall advance thy growth and improvement; and thou ſhalt never receive any real wrong or injury from all the croſſes thou art tryſted with. Hence, ſaith the apoſtle Paul, "We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpoſe", Rom viii. 28. -Thus all things without exception, ſhall work together for the good of the Church; when as a burning Buſh, ſhe is ſurrounded with fire, and flames. May the Lord bleſs his own word, Amen.
