A child of God preserved by God, though never so much slighted by the World. [ 997]

THey that work in Gold or Silver,* 1.1 let fall many a bit to the ground, yet they do not intend to lose it so, but sweep the shop, and keep the very sweepings safe, so that that which they cannot at present discover, the Finer brings to light: Thus, the World is Gods Work-house, many a dear child of God, suffers and falls to the ground by banishment, imprisonment, sorrow, sickness, &c. but they must not be lost thus, God will search the very sweepings, and cull them out of the very trash and preserve them;* 1.2 What though they be slightly set by, here in this world, and lie amongst the pots, no better accompted of-than the rubbish and refuse of the Earth? God will finde a time to make them up amongst the rest of his Jewels, Mal. 3. Ult.
