Prosperity divides, affliction unites the hearts of Christians. [ 331]
WE read in Scripture of the Manna that God gave his People,* 1.1 such was the
nature of it, that the heat of the Sun melted it. You will say, How could
it then endure the heat of the Oven? for they baked it in the Oven;* 1.2 yet so it was of
a strange kinde of nature, that it could bear the heat of the Oven, and not the heat
of the Sun. Even of such kind of temper are our hearts, the heat of the Sun of prospe∣rity
dissolves us, causes us to run one from another, to divide one from another;
but the heat of the fiery furnace of affliction bakes us, brings us, and settles us to∣gether;
it makes us to be one, it takes away our ••awnesse••, it consumes many of our
ill humours, and so composes our spirits into one.
