This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1707 edition. Excerpt: ... Fetters, which Guilt and Justice had bound us in; and brought into the free and open Air, the glorious and cherishing Light of his Countenance lifted upon us. The Storms are quieted, the Thunder laid aside, and Grace and Mercy, and a clear Sky succeeds. And, then as a farther Antidote against the Third Source of our Misfortune, Adversity weans our Affections, and calls them off from the World; begets in us a dislike and dissatisfaction to a State of Ib much Misery; and the bitterness of our Calamities supplies the place of Wormwood, which Providence, like a wife Nurse, puts upon the Breast, to make us loath the MiJk; and be content to part with the luscious Delights of that deceitful Life, of which we should otherwise be most immoderately fond.
