The truth is, there are no such cordials as those of the Christian Religion. Nothing can support and comfort us so speedily and substantially as the belief that God was manifested in our flesh, and therefore hath a singular love to us and care of us: that the Lord Jesus is exalted at the right hand of God; and that we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones: that he hath great, a great compassion to us; and both power and will to relieve or sustain us: that we suffer nothing but what he himself did; and are in the way to that glory where he dwells: and that he will certainly reward our patience, submission, and resignation to him, with endless joys. These things we must always have in our eye and in our heart.
