23 with the wares, what of his graces makes best for you, he and you will soon sort on the price; he will sell goods cheap, that ye may speir for his shop again; and he draws all the sale to himself. I counsel you to go no farther than Christ. And now when it is come to your door, either to sin or suffer, I counsel you to lay your account with suffering; for an out-gate coming from any airth, will be prejudicial to your soul's interest. And for your encouragement, remember he sends none a warfare on their own charges, and blest is the man that gives Christ all his money. The safest way to shift the shower is to hold out of God's gate, and keep within his doors, until the violence of the storm begin to ebb, which is not yet full tide. Christ deals tenderly with his young plants, and waters them oft lest they go back; be painful, and lose not life for the seeking. Grace, mercy and peace be with you.
