Wicked Men see the miseries, but not the Joyes of Gods People. [ 1856]

AS a Man standing upon the Sea-shore sees a great heap of waters, one wave riding on the back of another,* 1.1 and hears too (especially if it be in stormy weather) the lowd roarings thereof but all this while, though he see the waters, he doth not see the wealth, the gold and silver, the infinite Riches that lye buried in the bottom thereof. So it is that Wicked Men see the want, but not the wealth of Gods People;* 1.2 their conflicts, but not their comforts; they easily take notice of the miseries and troubles that usually attends upon the bodies of the Children of God, but they cannot possibly discover the joyes and rejoycings of the Spirit that are in their Souls, neither indeed can they; For they are spiritually discerned, 1 Cor. 2. 14.
