7. Vncheerefullnesse. Comforts against dullnesse and uncheerefullnesse.
The wildernesse and solitary place shall be glad for them, and the de∣sart shall reioyce and blossome as the rose, it shall blossome abun∣dantly, and reioyce even with ioy and singing, Esay 35.1, 2. Then shall yee sucke, yee shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you, and yee shall be comforted in Ierusalem. And when yee see this, your heart shall reioyce and your bones shall flou∣rish like an herbe, Jer. 66.12, 13, 14. Thou shalt reioyce in the LORD, Esay 41.16. Thou shalt have thy delight in the Almighty, Iob 22.26.

The godly have a spring of joy within them, Iohn 4.14. In thy name shall they reioyce all the day, Psal. 89.16. See Psal. 33.21.
