Mine in the Lord
THE present disposings of God towards me are very sweet and precious, my soule being subdu∣ed daily to the Lords will in all things: I see daily, that the Fa∣thers designes is to sweeten all conditions to me by the beames of his owne presence.
Truly in the Lord theirs nothing comes a∣misse to me, but I am able to welcome every dispose of providence; death, sorrow and misery in the Lord, are so familiar to me, that I know not how to bee without them; my soule longs after affliction, because now the sting of misery is gone, and it is my delight to play with it; I thinke I should starve with hunger, but that my own wants daily supply me; sweet soule, God is teaching me to see light in darknesse, good in evill, to eat upon the eater, and receive sweetnesse from the strong, to behold a happy harmony in all contrarie∣ties.

The Lord that spirit, in the flesh.
