Not to mourn for losses, because all is made up in Christ. [ 228]

SEneca tells a Courtier, that had lost his son, Fas tibi non est, salvo Caesare, de for∣tunatua queri, &c.* 1.1 That he had no cause to mourn, either for that or ought else, so long as his Soveraigne was in safety, and he in favour with his Soveraign, he had all things in him; and he should be unthankfull to his good fortune, if he were not cheer••ull both in heart and look, so long as things stood so with him as they did. How much better may it be said to every true Christian,* 1.2 let his wants and his crosses be never so great, his afflictions never so pressing, his necessities never so biting, that he hath little cause to mourn for them; so long as he is in grace and fa∣vour with God, he hath all things in Him, and so long therefore he is happy, and he have nothing else beside him.
