mynde is still free and imployed about what he was sent for. He cannot now in person preach to the people; and with that he has patience, but he can send his Disciples to heare Christ preach, and in that he fayles not. There is noe restraint; noe want of commoditie of tyme or place, that can hinder a right harte to goe out to seeke Christ, to heare him speake to it, and it to him; to stay with him reioyce in him, and happily in fine performe its dutie.
[Affect.] My soule, neuer be perplexed and troubled, that thou canst not actual∣ly performe what thou truly desirest. It is our heart, not our body, which God desires. Our workes without our wills, may want rewards: but our true desires neuer. Canst thou performe what thy obligation oblidges thee to? Be ware to fayle in it. Art thou hindred; by the malice of men, by sicknesse, by obediēce, by charitie? Neuer murmure at it. None is lesse perfecte, for omitting what he cannot mend: for what Gods prouiden∣ce hinders: for what obedience inioynes: for what charitie commands. Let thy heart stand right, and all will goe right
